What is the difference between ESI:inline and ESI:include?

Ask A Question

What is the difference between ESI:inline and ESI:include? ESI:inline and ESI:include are two different directives in ESI, each used to embed dynamic content in a web application.

  • ESI:include: This directive makes it possible to fetch dynamic content from another resource or server and embed it in the current page. The server loads the content from the specified URL and inserts it into the HTML of the current page. The ESI:include directive can also be used with parameters to view or filter specific parts of the retrieved resource.
  • ESI:inline: This directive allows dynamic content to be embedded directly into the HTML code of the current page. In contrast to the ESI:include statement, the content is not retrieved from an external resource but is generated within the current page. This can be useful when certain parts of a page need to be dynamically generated without having to access a separate resource or server.
Overall, the choice of instruction depends on the specific requirements of the particular use case. ESI:include can be useful when dynamic content needs to be retrieved from another resource, while ESI:inline is more appropriate when specific parts of a page need to be generated dynamically.
