Comparison of web template engines

src: developer.ibm.com

The following table lists the various Web Template Engines used in Web template systems and a brief rundown of their features. The content here is a work in progress.

LEGEND:

• Engine (implementation) = engine name
• Languages = implementation language of the engine (not the template script language)
• License = Software license agreement
• Platform = Computing platform
• Variables = script language power to use variables
• Functions = script language power to use functions
• Includes = script language power include external files
• Conditional inclusion = script language power to conditional includes
• Looping = script language power to do loops (for, while) or recursion
• Evaluation (language) = script language power to do "eval command" (to the implementation language)
• Assignment = set names and references to sub-templates (?)
• Errors and exceptions = engine output script errors.
• i18n = Internationalization and localization feature
• Natural templates = the template can be a document as valid as the final result, the engine syntax doesn't break the document's structure
• Inheritance = Supports the ability to inherit a layout from a parent template, separately overriding arbitrary sections of the parent template's content.
