What is the difference between Java, Javascript, Ecmascript, JQuery?

Question

I see it in Sololearn, but what's the difference?

Answer 1

Java is a programming language which uses a virtual machine to run code. Its most often used in phone apps.

Javascript is a scripting language most often implemented on browsers to render client side programming logic. You can find it on nearly every website.

Java and Javascript are unrelated, they only share a name. Javascript used Java's name to make itself more popular.

JQuery is a framework to store data, utilized by Javascript.

ECMAScript seems to just be a standardization of Javascript. So that different browsers don't execute it differently. I could be wrong on this one.

Yes, you're a little wrong: ECMAScript is the standard on wich Javascript is builded, not conversely ;)
Javascript follow ECMAScript standard, as other one (such as JScript, ActionScript, NodeJS)
