- JSTL Core Tags
- JSTL Formatting tags
- JSTL SQL tags
- JSTL XML tags
- JSTL Functions
1. JSTL Core Tags: These tags are used for iteration, condition checking, URL management etc. Core tags are most commonly used.
Syntax: <%@ taglib uri=”http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core” prefix=”c”%>
2. JSTL Formatting tags: These tags are used for formatting the text, date, numbers etc.

Syntax: <%@ taglib uri=”http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions” prefix=”fn” %>
