<c:choose>

<c:out>• It is used to output to the current JspWriter. This is

similar to using the JSP expression <%=scripting language expression %> to write dynamic data to the client.

• The value to be written to the JspWriter is specified as a value attribute. You can use expressions in the value attribute. This allows for the resulting evaluation to be sent to the JspWriter. The <c:out> tag can perform XML character-entity encoding for <, >, &, ", and '. This means that a < will be automatically encoded to &lt;.
