JSTL Functions
JSTL Functions Example explains about using different functions available in JSTL Taglib
To perform string functions in JSP without using any java code inside JSP, we can use JSTL functions. For this we need to prefix fn allows us to perform string functions in JSP
For working with JSTL functions, we need to import following additional taglib url
"<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" prefix="fn"%>"
to our jsp, please check the below example code
Required Libraries
