Welcome to Jinja2¶
Jinja2 is a modern and designer friendly templating language for Python, modelled after Django’s templates. It is fast, widely used and secure with the optional sandboxed template execution environment:
<title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
<ul>
{% for user in users %}
<li><a href="{{ user.url }}">{{ user.username }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
Features:
- sandboxed execution
- powerful automatic HTML escaping system for XSS prevention
- template inheritance
- compiles down to the optimal python code just in time
- optional ahead of time template compilation
- easy to debug. Line numbers of exceptions directly point to the correct line in the template.
- configurable syntax
