Why use JSTL?

JSTL is a collection of tag libraries that provide common features that would otherwise need to be written in Java code in JSP files.

Reasons why developers opt to use JSTL:

  • JSTL simplifies the development process by providing a set of pre-built tags that can be easily integrated into JSP files.
  • It enhances code readability and maintainability by separating business logic from presentation logic.
  • JSTL promotes code reusability, as developers can create custom tags and reuse them across multiple web applications.
  • It improves application performance by reducing the amount of Java code that needs to be executed on the server side.
  • JSTL is platform-independent.

JSTL Core Tag

JSTL stands for Java Server Pages Standard Library. The <c:param> tag adds the parameter in a containing in an ‘import’ tag’s URL. JSTL is a powerful tool that can help you create dynamic and maintainable web applications. It is part of the Java EE platform and is supported by all major JSP containers.
