ST (StringTemplate) is a java template engine (with ports for C#, Python, and Objective-C coming) for generating source code, web pages, emails, or any other formatted text output. ST is particularly good at multi-targeted code generators, multiple site skins, and internationalization / localization. It evolved over years of effort developing jGuru.com and then ANTLR v3.

Given day-job constraints, my time working on this project is limited so I'll have to focus first on fixing bugs rather than changing/improving the feature set. Likely I'll do it in bursts every few months. Please do not be offended if your bug or pull request does not yield a response! --parrt

The main website is:

Its distinguishing characteristic is that it strictly enforces model-view separation, unlike other engines. See:
