picotemplate ============
picotemplate is a simple, tiny C-Template workalike written in java with the intention of being as high performance as possible. picotemplate is very small, only three class files and is BSD licensed.
basic usage ----------- First, create your template:
<html> <body> This is my template. My favorite food is {{FOOD}}. </body> </html>
Import the required classes:
import com.binarythought.picotemplate.Template; import com.binarythought.picotemplate.TemplateDictionary;
Create your template and template dictionary:
Template template = new Template(new File("mytemplate.tpl")); TemplateDictionary dict = new TemplateDictionary();
Assign a value to the "food" variable (Unassigned variables are not shown):
dict.put("food", "cookies");
And parse your template:
String result = template.parse(dict);
And the result:
<html> <body> This is my template. My favorite food is cookies. </body> </html>
advanced usage -------------- picotemplate can selectively show areas of static content, called "sections". It can also loop over these sections using child dictionaries. Consider the following example:
<html> <body> {{FAVORITE_SHOW}} is probably my favorite show. {{#GOODSHOWS}} {{SHOW}} is pretty good, too.. {{/GOODSHOWS}} </body> </html>
Create your template and template dictionary as usual:
Template template = new Template(new File("mytemplate.tpl")); TemplateDictionary dict = new TemplateDictionary();
Define our favorite show:
dict.put("favorite_show", "Happy Days");
Now show the section called "goodshows" (Sections are by default hidden, and must be explicitly told to be shown):
dict.show("goodshows");
And add some shows for it to loop over:
TemplateDictionary child1 = dict.createChild("goodshows"); child1.put("show", "M.A.S.H"); TemplateDictionary child2 = dict.createChild("goodshows"); child2.put("show", "A-Team");
And the result:
<html> <body> Happy Days is probably my favorite show.
M.A.S.H is pretty good, too..
A-Team is pretty good, too.. </body> </html>
