example, <<spring-boot-features#boot-features-spring-mvc-template-engines,template engines>>
|

will cache compiled templates to avoid repeatedly parsing template files.
|

Whilst caching is very beneficial in production, it can be counter productive during

development. If you make a change to a template file in your IDE, you'll likely want to
