<h3>1. INTRODUCTION</h3>
<p> The commons-el package provides an implementation of the standard interfaces and abstract classes of the javax.servlet.jsp.el package, which is part of the JSP 2.0 specification.
</p>
<p>The classes that are now released as commons-el used to be part of the JSTL 1.0 reference implementation. JSTL 1.0 originally introduced the concept of an Expression Language (EL). The EL has since been integrated into the JSP 2.0 specification, which also added new features to it, such as EL Functions.
