|  | Classes and interfaces for the JSP 2.0 Expression Language API. | 
|  |  | 
|  | <p> | 
|  | The JavaServer Pages(tm) (JSP) 2.0 specification provides a portable | 
|  | API for evaluating "EL Expressions".  As of JSP 2.0, EL expressions can | 
|  | be placed directly in the template text of JSP pages and tag files. | 
|  | <p> | 
|  | This package contains a number of classes and interfaces that describe | 
|  | and define programmatic access to the Expression Language evaluator. | 
|  | This API can also be used by an implementation of JSP to evaluate the | 
|  | expressions, but other implementations, like open-coding into Java | 
|  | bytecodes, are allowed.  This package is intended to have no dependencies | 
|  | on other portions of the JSP 2.0 specification. |
