Why do we need thymeleaf. How it is helpful for the developers? I have seen an example where user name is fetched using a simple code by the author in w3schools.com like below.
**<form:inputText name="userName" value="${user.name}" />**
Also, the same author from w3schools try to teach how we can fetch the user name using thymeleaf as below.
**<input type="text" name="userName" value="James Carrot" th:value="${user.name}" />**
But my question is why do we need thymeleaf? It simply increasing code size. Someone please help me in understanding this.
