Will - you are certain and sure of what would happen and you are going to do it... Ex... I will finish my homework today..... You are going to finish it, in one way or another or for some certain reasons.
Going to - you are about to do it but there's no certainty. There is no pressure to do it. Ex... I'm going on vacation this school break.... There is no certainly if it would be push thru or not.
will is an emphasizing word, going to is lighter one.

It does depend on the context ...if u r saying "I am going to do something" or "I am going to do something" there is no difference. However, u r saying "I have a strong will" or "I am going to the beach" there is a pretty big difference.
Perhaps "I will" sounds more forced than "I am going to" ...but I really don't really see a difference.

"Going to" - planned actions in the future.
Example: We are going to sing at the party.
"Will" - you are certain that the action will happen in the future.
Example: John will be 13 next Tuesday.

there's no difference on the meaning.........some say that either is for short term and the other is for long term, but at the end, no difference at all.......
