Summary #

URL Jinja is a fast, expressive, extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. Then the template is passed data to render the final document.

Jinja is a modern and designer-friendly templating language for Python, modelled after Django’s templates. It is fast, widely used and secure with the optional sandboxed template execution environment:

<title>% block title %% endblock %</title>
<ul>
% for user in users %
  <li><a href=" user.url "> user.username </a></li>
% endfor %
</ul>

Features: #

• sandboxed execution

• powerful automatic HTML escaping system for XSS prevention

• template inheritance

• compiles down to the optimal python code just in time

• optional ahead-of-time template compilation

• easy to debug. Line numbers of exceptions directly point to the correct line in the template.

• configurable syntax
