I was reading about different distribution distances, and came across Kullback-Leibler divergence Jensen-Shannon divergence Wasserstein distance Maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) The book was too abstract for me to absorb. What are the differences between them, actually?

What is the difference between KL-divergence, JS-divergence, Wasserstein distance and MMD?
