Explain What is JSP?

JSP, expanded as Java Server Pages is a Java-based technology to create dynamic web pages. Released in 1999 by Sun Microsystems, JSP is based on technologies such as HTML, SOAP, XML, etc. JSP can be viewed as a servlet architecturally as it is translated into a servlet at runtime. JSP can also be used as a view component in MVC architecture with JavaBeans as a model and Servlets as the controller. JSP allows static content like HTML along with java code to be executed on the server-side. The resulting bytecode from the JSP must the executed on the JVM. In an overview, JSP can be thought of as an ASP or PHP technology to create web application but instead, JSP uses Java.
