If you know processing code (similar to Java) then I would go with processing.js as it lets you use it translating your code into js. If you know js go with p5.js. p5 is officially supported by the processing foundation. Here's a decent article about the 2. https://www.sitepoint.com/processing-js-vs-p5-js-whats-difference/

I'm a huge fan of both with a slight pref for processingjs thanks to John Resig, and the AIDE app. Also, processing sketches run perfectly on older computers, p5 not always.
