Is there any JSTL library to parse XML in a JSP?

The JSTL XML tags provide a JSP-centric way of creating and manipulating the XML documents. Following is the syntax to include the JSTL XML library in your JSP.

The JSTL XML tag library has custom tags for interacting with the XML data. This includes parsing the XML, transforming the XML data, and the flow control based on the XPath expressions.

<%@ taglib prefix = "x"
uri = "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/xml" %>

Before you proceed with the examples, you will need to copy the following two XML and XPath related libraries into your \lib −

• XercesImpl.jar − Download it from https://www.apache.org/dist/xerces/j/

• xalan.jar − Download it from https://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/index.html
