Which one is better among <c:import> and <jsp:include> in terms of performance?
jsp, jstl
Solution
`<c:import>` will offer a flexibility, and functionality improvement in addition to `<jsp:include>`.
`<c:import>` will allow you to specify content from other web applications, and contexts, as well as web servers; this gives you more flexibility.
Keep in mind though, that a static include, is always faster than a dynamic one; meaning that`<%@ include file="" %>` is faster than both `<jsp:include>` and `<c:import>`.
Technically, `<c:import>` should only be used if you require its functionality, or flexibility, the improvement in performance is minimal.
Some might state that implementing `<c:import>` is bad practice if you do not need it due to it being more heavy weight than `<jsp:include>`.
Problem
i am using import jstl tag, is it better to use jsp:include instead of import? ``` <c:choose> <c:when test="${item.id=='masters'}"> <c:import url="/newclickmenu/mastermenuitems.jsp"></c:import> </c:when> <c:when test="${item.id=='sales'}"> <c:import url="/newclickmenu/salesmenuitems.jsp"></c:import> </c:when> </c:choose> ```
