The org.anc.template module provides simple wrappers around Groovy's template engines to generate XML or HTML output.
The HtmlTemplateEngine uses a JSP/GSP like syntax as the template language:
<html>
<body>
<ol><% for (int i=0; i < n; ++i) { %>
<li><%= text %></li>
<% } %></ol>
</body>
</html>
While the MarkupBuilderTemplateEngine uses a Groovy DSL like syntax
html {
body {
ol {
n.times {
li text
}
}
}
}
Both engines implement the org.anc.template.TemplateEngine interface that contains a single method:
String generate(Map params)
String template = "...as above..."
TemplateEngine engine = new HtmlTemplateEngine(template)
Map params = [ n:10, text: 'This is a list item' ]
println engine.generate(params)
To use this module in a Java project you will need to ensure that Groovy 2.x is available on the classpath.
