JavaServer Pages, or JSP, is a server-side programming technology that we can use to create of dynamic web pages.

A JavaServer Pages are a type of Java servlet that is designed to create user interface for a Java web application.

We create JSP pages in text files that combine HTML or XHTML code, XML elements, and embedded JSP actions and commands.

When using JSP we create our own custom tags or use the existing tag library. A JSP tag looks like a normal HTML tag.
