🆚 Jakarta Server Pages vs. Play Framework

Jakarta Server Pages (JSP) is a technology that enables developers to create dynamic web content using XML markup, custom tags, expression language, and Java.

It provides directives for page configuration, actions for controlling runtime behavior, scripting elements for inline Java code, a tag extension mechanism, and templates to separate logic from presentation.

Play Framework is a community-maintained, high-velocity web framework for Java and Scala.

It provides a stateless, asynchronous architecture based on Akka, a modular structure for scalable applications, hot code reloading, built-in testing support, and native JSON handling for APIs.
