Template-Engine

FreshMarker Performance (2)

by

In the first article on FreshMarker performance, some of the template engine’s speed problems were addressed. The benchmark showed a tripling of the speed for these adjustments. In this article, the use of Reflections will be removed, which is certainly also of interest outside of a template engine.

FreshMarker Performance (1)

by

FreshMarker started as an academic project. The main aim was to show how a template engine can be created. At some point, however, the question arose as to how fast the template engine actually is. To be honest, it has been slow so far. But first things first.

FreshMarkers Roman Numbers

by

FreshMarker is quite a small library, about 475 KB in size. Therefore there is always room to make a few small additions. One of these is the display of numbers and loop variables with Roman numerals.

Partial Template Reduction (3)

At the end of the summer vacation, here is the last post on the topic of Partial Template Reduction for the time being. The basic algorithm was presented in the first two articles. In this article, the missing variable support is added.

In the first article on the implementation of the Partial Template Reduction feature, a few basic functions were created. This part deals with the implementation for the If-, Switch- and List- Directives.

With Partial Template Reduction, the template is filled with a fraction of the necessary data and thus simplified as far as possible. This articel presents the first part of the implementation.

Trivial Pursuit – API MarkDown (2)

by

Fasst drei Jahre nach dem ersten Beitrag zum eigenen API MarktDown ergibt sich ein zweiter Beitrag zum Thema. Bei der Durchsicht der eigenen Projekte fiel auf, dass in dem Projekt rest-markdown-plugin noch immer FreeMarker als Template-Engine verwendet wurde. Die erste Ad-Hoc Umstellung der Template-Engine auf FreshMarker scheiterte jedoch kläglich.

Mehr Zeit mit FreshMarker

by

Einer der Gründe für die Entwicklung der FreshMarker Bibliothek, war die fehlende Unterstützung der Java Time API in FreeMarker. Daher existierte schon in der ersten Implementierung neben der Unterstützung für java.util.Date, java.sql.Date und java.sql.Time auch eine Unterstützung für java.time.LocalDateTime, java.time.LocalDate und java.time.LocalTime. In diesem Beitrag wird die Formatierung für alle temporalen Typen verbessert. Bislang beherrschte FreshMarker nur die Standarddarstellung und eine Computer Audience Darstellung.
