"Theameleaf makes building Java-based MVC applications really easy."
5/5
What do you like best about Thymeleaf?

Documentation. Really explanatory. And it makes building applications really simple. As well as it has a good community so that we get answers to the queries we have within seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thymeleaf?

I don't have strong points to specifically mention what I dislike. But I found a small issue when I am trying Theameleaf applications my PC gets stuck. And I don't think that is a problem of my OS. My OS is Windows XP. Other than that, Theameleaf is smooth for me. My sister is using the same with her Mac OS but she does not seem to have that problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Developer Friendly and Easy to Develop than JSP"
4/5
What do you like best about Thymeleaf?

I used thymeleaf in more than 3 applications with spring. You can directly use java objects in frontend templates, therefore it makes application lightweight. It is very useful when you need to show value based on front end variable and read from backend, then directly you can call functions and read value from backend to frontend. Also, scripts and other things can be loaded based on backend variables or functions that can be directly utilized on front end templates. It is more like html and unlike jsp it doesn't have any strange tags. Unlike jsp, you can directly open thymeleaf pages in browser and applying style becomes much more easier than JSP. Also, Html5 is supported with thymeleaf, so easy to use new html tags with thymeleaf. It is using spring expression language, so you can easily pass models and use objects in frontend. It is not required to build application every time while working with thymeleaf. So, it is easy and faster to work with thymeleaf instead of JSP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thymeleaf?

Many times it became hard to debug when there is syntax or other bug with the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very easy way of creating front of application"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Thymeleaf?

What do you dislike about Thymeleaf?

I just think that for a big project it is good to look more react or angular, Thymeleaf I use for fast creating an app, demonstrating, In our company we use wicket and after some years we try to update to wicket the last version and it was painful and we can meet this kind of problems very often when the project is big, yes I agree that for java developers it is easy to use Template engines but if we know that project can become bigger it is good to have a separate architecture of backend and frontend and communicate with each other via rest.

"A beginner friendly, yet powerful templating engine"
4/5
What do you like best about Thymeleaf?

Thymeleaf is easy to learn and very intuitive, making development a breeze!

It allows front-end and back-end developers to collaborate easily as the template allows the static and dynamic views to be rendered using the same file. Moreover, Thymeleaf provides server side rendering which is very cost effective and efficient in terms of security, logging and displaying content at the server for testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thymeleaf?

Thymeleaf, if compared to the other alternate "FreeMarker", is heavy weight and can have some performance issues if there are multiple queries for a request or data is very large, thus requiring some extra optimizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4/5
What do you like best about Thymeleaf?

It was easy to use and quicker to implement when you want to create a quick and small project. The documentation is well done, and everything you want to find out, it can be done with ease. I like that SPA can be done with Thymeleaf. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thymeleaf?

The frontend part is kind of tied to the backend and it cannot be separated. Not sure if I would use Thymeleaf for a larger project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thymeleaf?

The performance of it could have been more better. I have been using thymeleaf in two of our projects in the company in a very large scale. I feel the syntax of it could have been more clarity, are there are some syntaxs like [__${index.index}__] , concatination syntax using | , etc could have been more easier.
