Grails g:each , Using fieldvalue or direct access Difference

Question

<g:each in="${business}" status="i" var="businessInstance">
<tr class="${(i % 2) == 0 ? 'odd' : 'even' }">
<td>${fieldValue(bean: businessInstance, field: "id") }</td>
<td>${businessInstance.id}</td>
</tr>
</g:each>

In above example, both first and second table data results same value. Is there any difference in those two cases?

Answer 1

fieldValue escapes the value by calling encodeAsHTML() to guard against XSS attacks, so it's much safer to use. It also formats numbers according the the current locale.
