RP Ruchita P. Senior Software Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 4/28/2020 "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 utilize on front end templates. It is more like html and unlike jsp it doen'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 sprint expression language, so you can easily pass models and use objects in frontend. It is not required to build application everytime 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.

Java Developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/22/2020 "Very easy way of creating front of application" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Thymeleaf? Easy integration with spring, spring boot starter support, intuitive, fast to learn, security is easier to achieve and it is a free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Thymeleaf: I don't have enough experience for advising, but for creating a small project where we need to show a small count of pages and it is easy to start I think it can be a good choice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Thymeleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? I don't use it more intensively and created simple pages. I think for using it in business we need to try update to the latest version every 6 mounts, but not every time it is possible, we can write code and not change it many years, and when we will try to change or fix bugs or try to use new features wi will need to update version but it is not always easy.

Software Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/25/2020 "A beignner 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. What problems is Thymeleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? The Spring project we are working on contains multiple standalone projects that integrate to create the whole product. In case a new utility (which would require a separate project) is requested by client, I would suggest Thymeleaf for the front-end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
