The Webmaster's Lexicon: J
| Java

A programming language designed for program execution on the
client side, i.e. in a browser.
Java is a simple, robust, object-oriented, platform-independent
multi-threaded, dynamic general-purpose programming environment.
It's best for creating applets and applications for the Internet,
intranets and any other complex, distributed network.

| JPEG
|
Joint Photographic Experts Group,
a popular cross-platform format for image files.
The JPEG standard is an excellent standard for most realistic images
(photos for example, but not line drawings or logos). It uses a
powerful, though nominally "lossy," compression method (the resulting
image may not be as rich as the original). JPEG is best
suited for truecolor original images; avoid using it on images that
have already been forced into a 256-color palette.
