Liquid markup in Java/Scala

Question

I'm looking analogs for Rails Liquid markup! in Java or Scala languages. Which markup exists like liquid?

Answer 1

Scalate Mustache

May do the trick, offers pre-compilation, and "codeless" templates (although I am not sure if the security requirement of Liquid is fully met).

At any rate, check it out, the Scalate template engine itself is quite powerful (jade, scaml, etc.)...

Answer 2

I was also looking for a java implementation of Liquid, and found this: https://github.com/bkiers/Liqp

According to the author, Liqp is:

An ANTLR based 'Liquid Template' parser and rendering engine.

Answer 3

You should also take a look at Handlebars.java.

You can make Helpers to emulate Liquid's filters:

Liquid:

 {{ context | markdownify }}

Handlebars.java:

 {{md context}}

Answer 4

The most similar I can think of is probably Jangod. I guess you be able to use Liquid directly with the help of JRuby. Alternatively you can use some classic markup format like Velocity or Freemarker. Another suggestion that I haven't personally tried would be Mustache.java.
