JavaScript provides you, the Web developer, a quick and simple language to use for enhancing Web pages and servers. A segment of JavaScript functionality is embedded as a small program within a Web page which is in turn interpreted and executed by the Web client. JavaScript functions that can be called from within a Web document are often executed by mouse functions, buttons, or other user-initiated actions.

PODS, on the other hand, provides you with better performance, the capability to perform file operations, interaction with native programs, and increased programming flexibility.
