Accepted Answer

Similarities and Differences (Java and Bedrock)

Similarities	Differences
Both have most new 1.13/1.14 features.	Bedrock has less lag than Java.
Both available on Windows.	
Bedrock does not have new combat features, (no sword blocking, no attack cool-down, can only hold specific items in off-hand (maps, arrows, totems of undying)).

Can have resource packs.	Bedrock can connect to other devices with Xbox live, this includes PE, Win 10, Xbox, Switch, PS4, etc.
Both are official Minecraft games.	Bedrock has easier access to cheats (are switches in the menu) and has the Education Edition pre-installed.
Both can access servers and multiplayer/LAN.	On Java (and to a lesser extent, the mobile and Windows 10 versions of Bedrock), resource packs are (mostly) free and can be downloaded from unofficial, community-run websites. But on the console editions of Bedrock, you can only get them from the in-game store, and thus, they cost Minecraft coins.
Both can download worlds (copy).	Java can have mods whereas Bedrock cannot. However, bedrock can have add-ons, unlike Java.
Both (on the world menu) use world BARS with the name, version, and a picture, however, Bedrock updates the picture whereas Java does not.	Bedrock has the paper doll in the top left corner of the screen, like the Console editions. It can also have coordinates under the doll if a player turns it on in the world options.
Players are unable to take an in-game screenshot in Bedrock. Although players can do the shortcut (Windows key+PrtScr) to take a full screenshot or can use the snipping tool.
Both have some of the same game modes.	The only difference in that is that modes like hardcore and spectator are not available on Bedrock.
The commands have some common functions.	In Java, the command format is different, for example, players can locate an igloo respectively on Java. In Bedrock, players can't locate igloos, and it still has no command flattening, yet.
Players can access versions before everyone else gets it	The beta versions on Bedrock are only on Windows 10, Xbox One and Android
