Engine (implementation) Languages License Variables Functions Includes Conditional inclusion Looping Evaluation (language) Assignment Errors and exceptions i18n Natural templates Inheritance

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.

For inclusion above

  • Paperclip (JavaScript/DOM/Node template engine) - fast, reactive templates.
  • Embedded Perl(Mojolicious: Embedded Perl) - Embedded Perl is a powerful templating engine for use with the Mojolicious Web Framework. It supports variables, functions, includes, conditional inclusion, looping, evaluation, assignment, exceptions, i18n, natural templates, and inheritance.[7]
  • erlydtl erlydtl django for erlang
  • Latte, template engine originating from Nette Framework
  • Foil
  • PH7 Engine
  • Haanga
  • TPLN
  • Volt Volt template engine for use with Phalcon Framework
  • tiny_template, simple runtime C++ templating
  • jtwig, Java implementation of the Twig template engine
