Thymeleaf is an XML/XHTML/HTML5 template engine (extensible to other formats) that can work both in web and non-web environments. It is better suited for serving XHTML/HTML5 at the view layer of web applications, it can process any XML file even in offline environments. It provides an optional module for integration with Spring MVC, so that you can use it as a complete substitute of JSP in your applications made with this technology, even with HTML5.

It provides an optional module for integration with Spring MVC, so that you can use it as a complete substitute of JSP in your applications made with this technology, even with HTML5.

Unlike JSP, Thymeleaf is a natural template engine meaning that the file could be directly opened in browsers without having to run the application.

The main goal of Thymeleaf is to provide an elegant and well-formed way of creating templates, allowing to use them also as static prototypes.

Its architecture allows a fast processing of templates, relying on intelligent caching of parsed files in order to use the least possible amount of I/O operations during execution.

Thymeleaf is a Java library.
