Jinja

Jinja is a high-performance, sandboxed templating engine for Python that uses a Django-inspired syntax to generate dynamic HTML, XML, or other text formats.

Jinja delivers a fast and extensible environment for rendering data into text-based formats. It features a robust set of tools including template inheritance, automatic HTML escaping to prevent XSS, and a sandboxed execution mode for security. Developers rely on its Python-like expressions and flexible tag system (such as {% for %} and {{ variable }}) to build scalable web applications. As the default engine for Flask and a core component of Ansible and Salt, Jinja is the industry standard for Pythonic templating.
