FreshMarker Performance (2)

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)

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

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)

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

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)

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.

Records für FreshMarker

Seit Java 14 existieren Records als zusätzliches Klassenkonstrukt im Sprachumfang. Daher wäre es schön, diese kompakte Variante von immutablen Klassen auch in der Template-Engine FreshMarker nutzen zu können. Wie einfach die Unterstützung für Records implementiert werden kann, soll dieser Beitrag veranschaulichen.

Whitespace Handling in FreshMarker (2)

Im ersten Beitrag zum Whitespace Handling wurde eine einfache Implementierung vorgestellt, die überflüssige Whitespaces entfernt. In diesem Beitrag soll die Implementierung verbessert werden.
