* Package name : el-api Version : 3.0.0 Upstream Author : Oracle * URL : https://github.com/javaee/el-spec/ * License : CDDL-1.1 or GPL-2 with Classpath exception Programming Lang: Java Description : Expression Language API EL is a simple language designed to meet the needs of the presentation layer in Java web applications. It features: * A simple syntax restricted to the evaluation of expressions * Variables and nested properties * Relational, logical, arithmetic, conditional, and empty operators * Functions implemented as static methods on Java classes * Lenient semantics where appropriate default values and type conversions are provided to minimize exposing errors to end users The EL API is already packaged in libservlet3.1-java, but this package is tied to src:tomcat8 which won't be part of Buster. The new tomcat9 package no longer builds the JavaEE APIs (Servlet, JSP,EL and WebSocket APIs) and separate API packages are introduced to replace them. This package will be maintained by the Java Team.
