GWT vs JavaFX: What are the differences?

Developers describe GWT as "An open-source set of tools to create and maintain complex JavaScript front-end applications *". It is a development toolkit for building and optimizing complex browser-based applications. Its goal is to enable productive development of high-performance web applications without the developer having to be an expert in browser quirks, XMLHttpRequest, and JavaScript. On the other hand, *JavaFX** is detailed as "A Java library for building Rich Internet Applications". It is a set of graphics and media packages that enables developers to design, create, test, debug, and deploy rich client applications that operate consistently across diverse platforms.

GWT belongs to "Javascript MVC Frameworks" category of the tech stack, while JavaFX can be primarily classified under "Cross-Platform Desktop Development".

HyperSoft, CaseFleet, and Endeeper are some of the popular companies that use JavaFX, whereas GWT is used by LTE Consulting, Whatfix, and Unmetric. JavaFX has a broader approval, being mentioned in 6 company stacks & 18 developers stacks; compared to GWT, which is listed in 7 company stacks and 5 developer stacks.
