PagesDialect is a custom dialect for the Thymeleaf template engine. It provides some Collection processing utilities, like pagination, sorting or exporting.
Note: these utilities work with the full Collection object in memory. This could be not a good idea if you have a table with thousands of rows, but it is pretty nice for a bunch of simple applications, or if you are using a server cache or any kind of lazy-loading.
