* 1: smart cache, (Puja-Template generate in the first time and ONLY re-genertate when file template (.tpl) has changed
* 2: hard cache ( Puja-Template never re-generate files until genereted file has been deleted.)

Some of Puja-Template's features:
- VALIDATE TEMPLATE SYNTAX
- it is extremely fast
- no template parsing overhead, only compiles once.
- it is smart about recompiling only the template files that have changed.
- unlimited nesting of sections, conditionals, etc.
- built-in caching of template output.
- Smart access variable value, ex: {{ a.b }} will access like $a->b if $a is a obj, and $a['b'] if $a is array.
Validate syntax:
Puja support validate syntax before the parser run compiler. This will helpfull for you to write template syntax.
Bug list: https://github.com/jinnguyen/puja/issues?page=1&state=open
Example: file template: index.tpl:
{% extends master.tpl %}
{% block body %}
Hello, {{ a }
Welcome you go to Puja template examples
{% endblock %}
The result will be:
Puja only run debug when mode debug is enabled
** We recommend you should only enable mode debug when your app is in develop. And disable it when your app go to production. It will save a lot time to template engine parser.
Basic API Usage:
- template file: index.tpl
Hello {{ username }},
Welcome you go to the very first exmplate of Puja template.
- php file: index.php
$data = array( 'username'=>'Jin Nguyen', ); $tpl->parse($template_file = 'index.tpl', $data);
The result will show:
Hello Jin Nguyen, Welcome you go to the very first exmplate of Puja template.
See User's guide for full information.
Template Inheritance:
- master.tpl:
==== Start Master ===
{% block body %}Master Body{% endblock body %}
{% block javascript %}Master javascript{% endblock javascript %}
==== End Master ====
- index.tpl
{% block javascript %}Index javascript [{{ block.supper }}]{% endblock %}
{% block body %}Index Body{% endblock %}
And the result will be:
==== Start Master === Index Body [Master Body] Index javascript ==== End Master ====
