INTRODUCTION
A JSP page is a text document that contains two types of text: static data, which can be expressed in any text-based format (such as HTML, SVG, WML, and XML), and JSP elements, which construct dynamic content.
The recommended file extension for the source file of a JSP page is .jsp. The page can be composed of a top file that includes other files that contain either a complete JSP page or a fragment of a JSP page. The recommended extension for the source file of a fragment of a JSP page is .jspf.
The JSP elements in a JSP page can be expressed in two syntaxes, standard and XML, though any given file can use only one syntax. A JSP page in XML syntax is an XML document and can be manipulated by tools and APIs for XML documents. This chapter and Chapters Chapter 7, JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Librarythrough Chapter 9, Scripting in JSP Pages document only the standard syntax. The XML syntax is covered in Chapter 6, JavaServer Pages Documents.
