Difference between apex:outputLink vs a href in Visualforce?

Hi Folks! Anyone know if there's any benefit to using apex:outputLink over a href in a Visualforce page? This use case is mostly to link to other Visualforce pages.

Thanks!
Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,

Although both have same usage  but using apex:outputLink, you have can specify several attributes which totally depends on your requirement.

You can refer this link too:

Let me know, if any other information is required.

Thanks,
Neetu
