Here, we have used request.getParameter() method to retrieve the data. Note that the above code is incomplete, it is just for showing how to embed JSP in an HTML file. The JSP was created to eliminate the limitation of Servlets. We can say JSP is an extension of Java Servlet which is also a server side technology to build web applications using Java programming language.
We save our JSP file with the extension ‘.jsp’. A single JSP page consists of HTML tags for static content and JSP tags to construct dynamic content. It is an acronym that stands for Java Server Pages and is used for the purpose of developing web based applications. In this article, we will try to find the difference between JSP and PHP in terms of their syntax, performance, scalability, security, and compatibility. However, they also have some significant differences that may affect the choice of which one to use for a web project.
Both are similar in the ways that they allow developers to embed code within an HTML document that can interact with databases, sessions, cookies, and other web features. Both JSP and PHP are two popular technologies that serve to create dynamic web pages.
