Difference between hyperledger composer and hyperl

Question

I am java developer and new to hyperledger. I am interested in learning it and need to know where to start . fabric vs composer?

Answer 1

Hyperedger Fabric: Hyperledger Fabric is one of a Hyperledger framework. It is a private permissioned blockchain commonly used in building Enterprise application.

Hyperledger Composer: It is the one of the tool of Hyperledger Framework. The main purpose of this tool is to develop the Blockchain application in less time as compared to Hyperledger Fabric Framework.

Below are the main differences between these two:

• Developing the Blockchain application with the help of Hyperledger composer is much easier and faster.
• The chaincode in Hyperledger Composer can be only written in javascript
• Hyperledger composer is build on top of the Hyperledger Fabric network by utilizing its main components through connection files.

Answer 2

hyperledger fabric is a hyperledger framework while composer is a hyperledger module.I suggest you start with hyperledger composer since it offers many benefits such as

• Faster creation of blockchain apps, eliminating the big effort required to build blockchain applications from scratch
• it is well-tested therefore less risk involved, easier to understand and align with different domains
• Greater flexibility as the higher-level abstractions make it far simpler to iterate.

further hyperledger composer is written in javascript.Composer provides you a bunch of easy-to-use components that you can quickly learn and implement.

hyperledger fabric takes you a layer lower. if you wanna start learning about blockchain architecture and underlying processes go ahead with fabric.
