Here are 2 different forms, one - with Spring MVC forms, another - with Thymeleaf. But what is the difference, which one should I use?
Spring Forms
<form:form methid="POST" action="/showDetails" modelAttribute="employee">
Name <form:input path="name"/>
Surname <form:input path="surname"/>
Salary <form:input path="salary"/>
<input type="submit" value="OK">
</form:form>
Thymeleaf
<form action="#" th:action="#{/register}" method="post" th:object="${user}">
<label>Full name:</label>
<input type="text" th:field="*{name}" /><br/>
<label>E-mail:</label>
<input type="text" th:field="*{email}" /><br/>
<label>Password:</label>
<input type="password" th:field="*{password}" /><br/>
<label>Birthday (yyyy-mm-dd):</label>
<input type="text" th:field="*{birthday}" /><br/>
<label>Gender:</label>
<input type="radio" th:field="*{gender}" value="Male" />Male
<input type="radio" th:field="*{gender}" value="Female" />Female<br/>
<button type="submit">Register</button>
</form>

Answer 1

This SpringMVC Form is similar to HTML.
In SpringMVC <form:form> tag plays an important role here; it’s very similar to the regular HTLM tag but the modelAttribute attribute is the key which specifies a name of the model object that backs this form:
<form:form method="POST"
action="/SpringMVC/addEmp" modelAttribute="emp">
This will correspond to the #ModelAttribute later on in the controller.
Whereas,
Thymeleaf is a Java template engine for processing and creating HTML, XML, JavaScript, CSS, and text.
