title: Performance comparison for Java vs JSP's JSTL
body: <p>Many times we can handle a piece of code in Java as well as in JSP with JSTL, for instance a simple comparison and setting the value appropriately on the basis of the comparison. </p>
  
  <p>Considering best practices and performance, which alternative should we prefer? Are both the same from a performance point of view?</p>
  
  <p>P.S. Not talking about Java scriptlets.</p>
