Interacting with code

There are a few popular methods for pragmatically interacting with the Ethereum network:

Web3.js The most popular way developers make their websites interact with metamask and smart contracts is through Web3.js. It is a node.js library.

Infura Another popular option is Infura which provides a REST API to the Ethereum network. This API is structured in a way that is more familiar to developers. The advantage of using Infura is the learning curve to deploying your product is much lower. The disadvantage is that you must trust Infura to pass along your data properly, as well as they could potentially log a copy of your data.

The Ethereum ecosystem started from an idea in 2014 to a full-fledged network. Because of its smart contract properties, many developers choose to build on Ethereum rather than bitcoin. This is because of the vast resources and tools being created in the ecosystem. Ethereum and bitcoin do share some technology, but their advancement is certainly going in separate ways.
