Smarty is a template engine for PHP. More specifically, it facilitates a manageable way to separate application logic and content from its presentation.
Cheetah is a Python-powered template engine and code generator. It can be used as a standalone utility or it can be combined with other tools. Web developers are its principle user group, but it has many potential uses and is also being used to generate C++ game code, Java, SQL, form emails, and even Python code.
Jinja is a sandboxed template engine written in pure Python licensed under the BSD license. It provides a Django-like non-XML syntax and compiles templates into executable python code. It's basically a combination of Django templates and python code.
FreeMarker is a "template engine"; a generic tool to generate text output (anything from HTML to autogenerated source code) based on templates. It's a Java package, a class library for Java programmers. It's not an application for end-users in itself, but something that programmers can embed into
... [More] their products.
FreeMarker is designed to be practical for the generation of HTML Web pages, particularly by servlet-based applications following the MVC (Model View Controller) pattern. The idea behind using the MVC pattern for dynamic Web pages is that you separate the designers (HTML authors) from the programmers. Everybody works on what they are good at. Designers can change the appearance of a page without programmers having to change or recompile code, because the application logic (Java programs) and page design (FreeMarker templates) are separated. Templates do not become polluted with complex program fragments. This separation is useful even for projects where the programmer and the HMTL page author is the same person, since it helps to keep the application clear and easily maintainable. [Less]
Mako is a template library written in Python. It provides a familiar, non-XML syntax which compiles into Python modules for maximum performance. Mako's syntax and API borrows from the best ideas of many others, including Django templates, Cheetah, Myghty, and Genshi. Conceptually, Mako is an
... [More] embedded Python (i.e. Python Server Page) language, which refines the familiar ideas of componentized layout and inheritance to produce one of the most straightforward and flexible models available, while also maintaining close ties to Python calling and scoping semantics. [Less]
Mason is a powerful Perl-based web site development and delivery engine. With Mason you can embed Perl code in your HTML and construct pages from shared, reusable components.
Mason solves the common problems of site development: caching, debugging, templating, maintaining development and
... [More] production sites, and more.
Mason is 100% free and open source. Although it can be used from CGI or even stand-alone, it is optimally designed for use with two other open source technologies: mod_perl and Apache. [Less]
OPTv2 is a template engine for PHP5 based on XML language. It focuses on portability and declarative programming, where you specify what you want to achieve, not - how it is supposed to work. Together with powerful syntax, it provides a modern, objective API designed especially for use with popular
... [More] frameworks.
Currently, OPTv3 is being under development. The new version brings new design and architecture, offering an universal template compiler suitable for different types of template languages. [Less]
