Trimou is a templating engine. It's a Mustache implementation but Helpers API inspired by Handlebars.js is also supported. The goal is to provide a simple to use and easy to extend templating engine for any Java SE or Java EE application.

There are some ready-to-use extensions which provide integration with CDI, Servlets, PrettyTime, HtmlCompressor, google-gson, JSON Processing Object Model API (JSR 353), Spring MVC, Dropwizard and EL 3.0.

All the artifacts are available in the Maven Central Repository:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.trimou</groupId>
  <artifactId>trimou-core</artifactId>
  <version>${version.trimou}</version>
</dependency>

Use the MustacheEngineBuilder to build a MustacheEngine - a central point for template management.

// Build the engine - don't configure anything but use sensible defaults
MustacheEngine engine = MustacheEngineBuilder.newBuilder().build();
// Compile the template - no caching and no template locators used
Mustache mustache = engine.compileMustache("Hello {{this}}!");
// Render "Hello world!"
System.out.println(mustache.render("world"));

• a really simple example
• a little bit more complex web application example.
• a small example using Spring Boot auto-configuration

Simply run:

$ mvn clean install
