FreshMarker Operator Overloading

by

Operator overloading is a programming technique in which an existing operator is extended or adapted to user-defined data types. This makes it possible to design user-defined classes in such a way that they behave syntactically like built-in data types and facilitates intuitive and readable use of these types using the familiar operators. This article presents the integration of operator overloading in FreshMarker.

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.

Partial Template Reduktion (2)

by

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.

Null Equality in Templates

This is an article that reports directly from the bowels of FreshMarker. It is therefore mainly worthwhile for readers who want to know a little more about how FreshMarker works.

FreshMarker Sorted Hash Lists

by

I really like it when I can add new features to FreshMarker, especially if they are easy to implement and integrate elegantly into the overall system.

Partial Template Reduction (1)

by

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.
