What Are The Advantages of JSP?

Just like Servlet, JSP was also launched by Sun Microsystems. Servlet is a programming based on Java codes. One should have strong knowledge of Java to know Servlet. You can also take advanced java courses in Mumbai.

You might be thinking what was the need of launching JSP when Servlet was already there. Well, in the initial days of the Servlet, programmers don't like it. Thus, to attract other programmers like ASP.net and PHP programmer Sun Microsystems introduced JSP - a server-side technology with all the packed features of the Servlet.

The best part of JSP is that it offers separate parts for static and dynamic HTML content of Servlet.  For example - If we have an online store and we want every time someone opens it, it must display a hello message like - "Hello Mr / Ms./Mrs. Z" for registered users. With JSP creating this page is an easy task whereas if we starts developing the same with Servlet then we have to develop this entire page by writing coding in Servlet programmer.

Advantages of JSP -

1. JSP allows tag-based programming.

2. It is suitable for both Java and non-Java programmers because it is easy.

3. It uses nine absolute objects, which can directly be used in our JSP program.

4. It easily takes care of exception handling.

5. It allows using separate presentation logic for HTML code and for Java code.

6. JSP easily increases the readability of code due to the tags present.

7. It has built-in JSP tags.

8. You can use or develop custom JSP tags and use the third-party supplied tags as well.

9. Easily applicable.

10. Easy to learn.

Advantages of JSP Over Other Technologies -

• Versus ASP (active server pages) -

ASP is produced by Microsoft. It is also a tag-based programming language just as JSP, but the drawback is, it doesn't have a portable code whereas, JSP code is portable because it is written in Java.

• Versus PHP -

PHP is an HTML embedded scripting language and the plus point is it is available free of cost. It is similar to both ASP and JSP, but the problem is it doesn't get along with large applications.

• Versus JavaScript -

JavaScript and Java programming are not related to each other. If we compare then JavaScript can't work as a network programming or as an access server-side resource whereas Java can do it all as it is more powerful, flexible, and reliable.
