Scripting elements form the main part of a JSP Code. They are very essential. Expression tag is one of them. In this article, we are going to learn about JSP Expression Tag with Examples. So let’s start!!

JSP Expression Tag

Expressions are a simple means for accessing the value of a Java variable. They can be an access point to other expressions and merging that value with HTML as well. We write expressions in <%__%> these tags. This code inside these gets written to the output stream of the response.

Syntax of expression is:

<%=expression/statement %>

Now, this expression or statement can be any valid Java statement. This code will convert to out.print() statement so we don’t need to write an exclusive out.print() statement. This will occur when an auto generated servlet will form until and unless the expression is convertible to string format. It basically writes the result to the browser (client side) using the response object.
