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
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<title>Thymeleaf tutorial: exercise 2</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../css/main-static.css" th:href="@{/css/main.css}" />
<meta charset="utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>Thymeleaf tutorial - Answer for exercise 1: bean values</h1>
<h2>Product information</h2>
<dl>
<dt>Product name</dt>
<dd th:text="${product.description}">Red Chair</dd>
<dt>Product price</dt>
<dd th:text="${product.price}"> 0</dd>
<dt>Product available from</dt>
<dd th:text="${product.availableFrom}"> -12-01</dd>
</dl>
</body>
</html>
2.简单数据转换（数字，日期）
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<title>Thymeleaf tutorial: exercise 2</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../css/main-static.css" th:href="@{/css/main.css}" />
<meta charset="utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>Thymeleaf tutorial - Answer for exercise 2: bean values</h1>
<h2>Product information</h2>
<dl>
<dt>Product name</dt>
<dd th:text="${product.description}">red Chair</dd>
<dt>Product price</dt>
<dd th:text="${#numbers.formatDecimal(product.price, 1, 2)}"> 0</dd>
<dt>Product available from</dt>
<dd th:text="${#dates.format(product.availableFrom, &# ;yyyy-MM-dd&# ;)}"> -12-01</dd>
</dl>
</body>
</html>
3.字符串拼接
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<title>Thymeleaf tutorial: exercise 3</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../css/main-static.css" th:href="@{/css/main.css}" />
<meta charset="utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>Thymeleaf tutorial - Answer for exercise 3: string concatenation</h1>
<h2>Product information</h2>
<dl>
<dt>Product price</dt>
<dd th:text="${&# ;$&# ;+product.price}">2 </dd>
</dl>
</body>
</html>
4.国际化
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<title th:text="#{tutorial.exercise4}">Thymeleaf tutorial: exercise 4</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../css/main-static.css" th:href="@{/css/main.css}" />
<meta charset="utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<h1 th:text="#{tutorial.exercise4}">Thymeleaf tutorial - Solution for exercise 4: internationalization</h1>
<h2 th:text="#{product.info}">Product information</h2>
<dl>
<dt th:text="#{product.name}">Product name</dt>
<dd th:text="${product.description}">Red chair</dd>
<dt th:text="#{product.price}">Product price</dt>
<dd th:text="${#numbers.formatDecimal(product.price, 1, 2)}"> 0</dd>
<dt th:text="#{product.available}">Product available from</dt>
<dd th:text="${#dates.format(product.availableFrom, &# ;dd-MMM-yyyy&# ;)}"> -Jun- 13</dd>
</dl>
</body>
</html>
此时html需要相应的配置文件。例如如下配置文件：
en：
tutorial.exercise4=Thymeleaf tutorial - exercise 4: internationalization product.info=Product information product.name=Product name product.price=Product price product.available=Product available from back=Back
fr：
tutorial.exercise4=Tutorial De Thymeleaf - exercice 4: l&# ;internationalisation product.info=Information du produit product.name=Nom du produit product.price=Prix du produit product.available=Produit disponible depuis back=Revenir
5.转义和非转义文本
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<title>Thymeleaf tutorial: exercise 5</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../css/main-static.css" th:href="@{/css/main.css}" />
<meta charset="utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>Thymeleaf tutorial - Solution for exercise 5: escaped and unescaped text</h1>
<div th:text="${html}">
Some escaped text
</div>
<div th:utext="${html}">
Some unescaped text
</div>
</body>
</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
