Introduction to Shunter

Shunter is a Node.js application built to read JSON and translate it into HTML.

Shunter as a proxy

It works by proxying user requests through to a back-end which responds with JSON; then Shunter uses the JSON as a render context, generating output by passing it into your templates.

Benefits

  • Can allow different applications and platforms to use the same front end code
  • Technology agnostic: if your application outputs JSON, it can work with Shunter
  • Enforced decoupling of templates from backend applications, encouraging a clear separation of concerns
