Scriban is a fast, powerful and lightweight text templating language and engine for .NET

var template = Template.Parse("Hello {{name}}!")
var result = template.Render(new { name = "World" }); // => "Hello World!" 

The language is very versatile, easy to read and use, similar to liquid templates:

var template = Template.Parse(@"
<ul id='products'>
  {{ for product in products }}
    <li>
      <h2>{{ product.name }}</h2>
           Price: {{ product.price }}
           {{ product.description | string.truncate 15 }}
    </li>
  {{ end }}
</ul>
");
var result = template.Render(new { products = this.ProductList });

• Very efficient, fast parser and a lightweight runtime. CPU and Garbage Collector friendly. Check the benchmarks for more details.
• Powered by a Lexer/Parser providing a full Abstract Syntax Tree, fast, versatile and robust, more efficient than regex based parsers.
• Extensible runtime providing many extensibility points
• Precise control of whitespace text output
• Full featured language including if/else/for/while, expressions (x = 1 + 2), conditions... etc.
• Function calls and pipes (myvar | string.capitalize)
  • Custom functions directly into the language via func statement and allow function pointers/delegates via the alias @ directive
  • Bind .NET custom functions from the runtime API with many options for interfacing with .NET objects.
• Complex objects (javascript/json like objects x = {mymember: 1}) and arrays (e.g x = [1,2,3,4])
• Allow to pass a block of statements to a function, typically used by the wrap statement
• Several builtins objects/functions:
  • arrays functions
  • maths functions
  • string functions
  • regex functions
  • date/time
• Multi-line statements without having to embrace each line by {{...}}
• Safe language and runtime, allowing you to control what objects and functions are exposed

You can install the Scriban Extension for Visual Studio Code to get syntax coloring for scriban scripts (without HTML) and scriban html files.
