# Tag Reference

Generic tags are used for controlling the execution flow when the pages render. These tags also allow for data extraction from places other than your action or the value stack, such as Localization , JavaBeans, and including additional URLs or action executions.

- Control Tags provide control flow, such as `if`, `else`, and `iterator`
- Data Tags allow for data manipulation or creation, such as `bean`, `push`, and `i18n`

> Please make sure you have read the Tag Syntax document and understand how tag attribute syntax works.
