About:
CTemplate is a fast and lightweight template language and code generation tool designed for C++. It separates presentation from logic by using simple text templates with placeholders and directives, enabling clean generation of HTML, XML, or configuration files. Its primary value is in creating maintainable, high-performance output without embedding complex logic directly in the templates.
Key Features:
  • Fast, deterministic output generation optimized for C++
  • Separation of concerns: clean templates without embedded logic
  • Supports template inheritance, partials, and conditionals
  • Command-line tool for precompiling templates into C++ code
Use Cases:
  • Generating high-performance HTML for web servers
  • Creating configuration files from structured data
  • Code generation for boilerplate C++ structures
Alternatives:
  • jinja2 – Python-based, more feature-rich but requires a runtime environment
  • mustache – Language-agnostic logic-less templates, often slower than CTemplate in C++ contexts
