Kajiki provides fast well-formed XML templates

Because Kajiki's input is XML, it can ensure that your HTML/XML output is well-formed. The Genshi-like syntax, based on XML attributes or tags, is simply beautiful and easily understood (or ignored) by web designers. But instead of the slow performance of Genshi_, Kajiki compiles templates to Python code that renders with blazing-fast speed, so Kajiki can compete with the speed of Jinja_, Mako_, Chameleon_ and others. Also, one of Genshi's misfeatures -- py:match -- is replaced with blocks which work like Jinja's blocks.

By combining the best ideas out there -- XML input, Genshi's syntax and features, Jinja's template inheritance and final compilation to Python --, Kajiki is ready to become the most widely used templating engine for web development in Python. And more features are coming soon; stay tuned!

Example

.. code:: python

>>> import kajiki
>>> Template = kajiki.XMLTemplate('''<html>
...     <head><title>$title</title></head>
...     <body>
...         <h1>$title</h1>
...         <ul>
...             <li py:for="x in range(repetitions)">$title</li>
...         </ul>
...     </body>
... </html>''')
>>> print(Template(dict(title='Kajiki is teh awesome!', repetitions=3)).render())
<html>
    <head><title>Kajiki is teh awesome!</title></head>
    <body>
        <h1>Kajiki is teh awesome!</h1>
        <ul>
            <li>Kajiki is teh awesome!</li><li>Kajiki is teh awesome!</li><li>Kajiki is teh awesome!</li>
        </ul>
    </body>
</html>
