Velocity Insights

What is Velocity?

Apache Velocity is a Java-based template engine. It permits anyone to use a simple yet powerful template language to reference objects defined in Java code. Velocity is commonly used to generate web pages, SQL, postscript and other output from templates. It separates Java code from the presentation which improves code maintainability. It is an alternative to JSP (JavaServer Pages) and PHP.
