17 JSP Taglib Directive

The JSP taglib directive is used to define a tag library and associate it with a URI and prefix. It references a TLD file that defines the tags. In the example, the taglib directive imports the tag library from "http://www.javatpoint.com/tags" and uses the prefix "mytag" so that the <mytag:currentDate/> tag can be used to display the current date.

JSP Taglib directive
The JSP taglib directive is used to define a tag library that defines many tags. We use
the TLD (Tag Library Descriptor) file to define the tags. In the custom tag section we
will use this tag so it will be better to learn it in custom tag.
