So Flask like Django also uses a templating language, called Jinja. Which from what I’ve read is similar to Django’s templating language. So maybe I should rethink my rethink? However in Flask’s favor, Jinja IMHO, based on very preliminary research, is to use their words, modeled after Django’s templates. A more powerful Django templating language? It’s starting to seem that a templating language is just a fact of life outside basic HTML. They say…
Features:
- sandboxed execution
- powerful automatic HTML escaping system for XSS prevention
- template inheritance
- compiles down to the optimal python code just in time
- optional ahead-of-time template compilation
- easy to debug. Line numbers of exceptions directly point to the correct line in the template.
- configurable syntax
Also other projects such as Ansible uses Jinja2.
