README
Beard: A Blazing-Fast Template Engine
Beard is a logic-less templating engine written in Scala and inspired by Mustache. You can use it out-of-the-box; see the Requirements list below.
What makes Beard powerful:
- Streaming. As soon as you need to render something, you can stream it to the browser. This provides high user-perceived performance.
- Speed. We've benchmarked it against other template engines for the JVM, and Beard performed much faster in terms of rendering time. (We invite you to run your own benchmarks to see if you get the same results.) It also uses ANTLR to make template compilation fast.
- It offers template inheritance.
- Its simple, beautiful syntax. A la Mustache, it uses only the
{and}markers for tags and delimiters.
Here's a code snippet to show you how simply Beard can parse templates:
<html>
<head>
<title>{{ the.title }}</title>
</head>
<body>
{{ the.content }}
</body>
</html>
Requirements
- Scala 2.12 or 2.13
- a package manager like sbt or Maven
