What is a taglib directive in JSP?
The JavaServer Pages API allow you to define custom JSP tags that look like HTML or XML tags and a tag library is a set of user-defined tags that implement custom behavior.
The taglib directive declares that your JSP page uses a set of custom tags, identifies the location of the library, and provides means for identifying the custom tags in your JSP page.
The taglib directive follows the syntax given below −
<%@ taglib uri="uri" prefix = "prefixOfTag" >
Here, the uri attribute value resolves to a location the container understands and the prefix attribute informs a container what bits of markup are custom actions.
You can write the XML equivalent of the above syntax as follows −
<jsp:directive.taglib uri = "uri" prefix = "prefixOfTag" />
