What are the features of JSP?

JSP stands for Java Server Pages. This technology allows a Web developer to create dynamic Web contents in a simplified manner. Web applications created through this technology are server and platform-independent. Following are the features of JSP:

1. JSP documents are interpreted by the JSP container that contains a mixture of static HTML and scripting language commands for dynamically generating web responses to web requests and for communicating with server-side applications and data.
2. It specifies special scripting language commands inside of a text-based document that are used on the server side to process requests from a client and to generate responses for the client.
3. HTML, XML, and other template data can be defined in JSP and are sent directly to a web client without additional processing on the server side.
4. The regular template data can be directly used within JSP.
5. The JSP scripting command language has a simple XML-like syntax, and Java code can be used within code.
