JSP/JSTL vs Thymeleaf which one to choose?

Question

Java

I recently started developing a new project, I use JSP + JSTL on the front, I recently noticed on all sorts of forums / articles that people are starting to use Thymeleaf often.

I know JSP / JSTL very well and I want to know if it is worth paying attention to Thymeleaf at all and what advantages does it have over JSP / JSTL?

Answer 1

I highly recommend Thymeleaf. There is experience in the production of JSP + JSTL, but in the latter they completely switched to Thymeleaf.
For me, the main advantage is the cleanliness of the view. The tags are all native html. This helps a lot. Less time is spent on the transfer of Vertsky, this advantage is especially noticeable when there is a separate coder in the team who does not want / can know anything about Java.

Answer 2

Nice presentation of the world without Jsp. thymeleaf 2.0
