Difference between spring JSP MVC and Thymeleaf MVC

Question

What is the difference between spring JSP MVC and Thymeleaf MVC? Which one is best way for spring web design ?

Answer 1

Thymeleaf is template resolver that process template and produce pure html.

Thymeleaf is way better in my opinion because it have good underlying priciples and exploits natural behaviour of browsers.

Jsp makes html hard to read, it becomes weird mixture of html and java code which makes a lot of problems in comunication between designer - developer.

Thymeleaf preserves html and only adds tags that are intuitive and very expressive. It enables you to work in offline mode and it works great with spring and I definitely recommend it above jsp.
