| Java | Computer programming language (developed by Sun MicroSystems' Inc., "Green" team headed by James Gosling in order to overcome difficulties with the use of the C++ programming language ) that may be displayed through a browser (HotJava). Java in combination with HotJava allow the display of Java-based page files that include animation, audio, and real-time interactivity on the Web.

| JPEG | Joint Picture Expert Group (pronounced "Jay Peg"; JPEG technolgy compresses graphics file sizes to up to 1/20 of its original size at a relatively small image quality reduction. JPEG's compression algorithm is a "lossy" versus "loss-less" compression system thus a download speed/image quality trade-off is expected; While JPEG may not be the best format for all browsers on the Web, it is a great tool for displaying photographs and images that are not negatively affected by a "lossy" compression technique; also see MPEG) |
