Thymeleaf是个XML/XHTML/HTML5模板引擎，可以用于Web与非Web应用。
Thymeleaf的主要目标在于提供一种可被浏览器正确显示的、格式良好的模板创建方式，因此也可以用作静态建模。你可以使用它创建经过验证的XML与HTML模板。相对于编写逻辑或代码，开发者只需将标签属性添加到模板中即可。接下来，这些标签属性就会在DOM（文档对象模型）上执行预先制定好的逻辑。Thymeleaf的可扩展性也非常棒。你可以使用它定义自己的模板属性集合，这样就可以计算自定义表达式并使用自定义逻辑。这意味着Thymeleaf还可以作为模板引擎框架。
Thymeleaf的模板还可以用作工作原型，Thymeleaf会在运行期替换掉静态值。例如下面的html文件，当作为静态文件时，product name显示为Red Chair，当运行在容器中并提供product这个对象时，product name的值会自动替换为product.description对应的值。
1.bean值替换
1 <!DOCTYPE html> 2 <html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"> 3 <head> 4 <title>Thymeleaf tutorial: exercise 2</title> 5 <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../css/main-static.css" th:href="@{/css/main.css}" /> 6 <meta charset="utf-8" /> 7 </head> 8 <body> 9 <h1>Thymeleaf tutorial - Answer for exercise 1: bean values</h1>10 <h2>Product information</h2>11 <dl>12 <dt>Product name</dt>13 <dd th:text="${product.description}">Red Chair</dd>14 15 <dt>Product price</dt>16 <dd th:text="${product.price}">350</dd>17 18 <dt>Product available from</dt>19 <dd th:text="${product.availableFrom}">2014-12-01</dd>20 </dl>21 </body>22 </html>
2.简单数据转换（数字，日期）
1 <!DOCTYPE html> 2 <html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"> 3 <head> 4 <title>Thymeleaf tutorial: exercise 2</title> 5 <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../css/main-static.css" th:href="@{/css/main.css}" /> 6 <meta charset="utf-8" /> 7 </head> 8 <body> 9 <h1>Thymeleaf tutorial - Answer for exercise 2: bean values</h1>10 <h2>Product information</h2>11 <dl>12 <dt>Product name</dt>13 <dd th:text="${product.description}">red Chair</dd>14 15 <dt>Product price</dt>16 <dd th:text="${#numbers.formatDecimal(product.price, 1, 2)}">180</dd>17 18 <dt>Product available from</dt>19 <dd th:text="${#dates.format(product.availableFrom, 'yyyy-MM-dd')}">2014-12-01</dd>20 </dl>21 </body>22 </html>
3.字符串拼接
1 <!DOCTYPE html> 2 <html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"> 3 <head> 4 <title>Thymeleaf tutorial: exercise 3</title> 5 <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../css/main-static.css" th:href="@{/css/main.css}" /> 6 <meta charset="utf-8" /> 7 </head> 8 <body> 9 <h1>Thymeleaf tutorial - Answer for exercise 3: string concatenation</h1>10 <h2>Product information</h2>11 <dl>12 <dt>Product price</dt>13 <dd th:text="${'$'+product.price}">235</dd>14 </dl>15 </body>16 </html>
4.国际化
1 <!DOCTYPE html> 2 <html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"> 3 <head> 4 <title th:text="#{tutorial.exercise4}">Thymeleaf tutorial: exercise 4</title> 5 <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../css/main-static.css" th:href="@{/css/main.css}" /> 6 <meta charset="utf-8" /> 7 </head> 8 <body> 9 <h1 th:text="#{tutorial.exercise4}">Thymeleaf tutorial - Solution for exercise 4: internationalization</h1>10 <h2 th:text="#{product.info}">Product information</h2>11 <dl>12 <dt th:text="#{product.name}">Product name</dt>13 <dd th:text="${product.description}">Red chair</dd>14 15 <dt th:text="#{product.price}">Product price</dt>16 <dd th:text="${#numbers.formatDecimal(product.price, 1, 2)}">350</dd>17 18 <dt th:text="#{product.available}">Product available from</dt>19 <dd th:text="${#dates.format(product.availableFrom, 'dd-MMM-yyyy')}">28-Jun-2013</dd>20 </dl>21 </body>22 </html>
此时html需要相应的配置文件。例如如下配置文件：
en：
tutorial.exercise4=Thymeleaf tutorial - exercise 4: internationalization
product.info=Product information
product.name=Product name
product.price=Product price
product.available=Product available from
back=Back
fr
tutorial.exercise4=Tutorial De Thymeleaf - exercice 4: l'internationalisation
product.info=Information du produit
product.name=Nom du produit
product.price=Prix du produit
product.available=Produit disponible depuis
back=Revenir
5.转义和非转义文本
1 <!DOCTYPE html> 2 <html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"> 3 <head> 4 <title>Thymeleaf tutorial: exercise 5</title> 5 <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../css/main-static.css" th:href="@{/css/main.css}" /> 6 <meta charset="utf-8" /> 7 </head> 8 <body> 9 <h1>Thymeleaf tutorial - Solution for exercise 5: escaped and unescaped text</h1>10 <div th:text="${html}">11 Some escaped text12 </div>13 <div th:utext="${html}">14 Some unescaped text15 </div>16 </body>17 </html>
上述两个div分别生成的html代码为
<div>This is an <em>HTML</em> text. <b>Enjoy yourself!</b></div>
<div>This is an <em>HTML</em> text. <b>Enjoy yourself!</b></div>
6.迭代
1 <!DOCTYPE html> 2 <html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"> 3 <head> 4 <title>Thymeleaf tutorial: exercise 6</title> 5 <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../css/main-static.css" th:href="@{/css/main.css}" /> 6 <meta charset="utf-8" /> 7 </head> 8 <body> 9 <h1>Thymeleaf tutorial - Answer for exercise 6: iteration</h1>10 <h2>Product list</h2>11 <table>12 <thead>13 <tr>14 <th>Description</th>15 <th>Price</th>16 <th>Available from</th>17 </tr>18 </thead>19 <tbody th:remove="all-but-first">20 <tr th:each="product:${productList}">21 <td th:text="${product.description}">Red Chair</td>22 <td th:text="${'$' + #numbers.formatDecimal(product.price, 1, 2)}">$123</td>23 <td th:text="${#dates.format(product.availableFrom, 'yyyy-MM-dd')}">2014-12-01</td>24 </tr>25 <tr>26 <td>White table</td>27 <td>$200</td>28 <td>15-Jul-2013</td>29 </tr>30 <tr>31 <td>Reb table</td>32 <td>$200</td>33 <td>15-Jul-2013</td>34 </tr>35 <tr>36 <td>Blue table</td>37 <td>$200</td>38 <td>15-Jul-2013</td>39 </tr>40 </tbody>41 </table>42 </body>43 </html>
