Comments on: Script injection and StringTemplate http://hardlikesoftware.com/weblog/2008/02/15/script-injection-and-stringtemplate/ The writings of John Snyders, mostly about software. Thu, 13 Oct 2011 15:18:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Bill http://hardlikesoftware.com/weblog/2008/02/15/script-injection-and-stringtemplate/comment-page-1/#comment-7495 Bill Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:15:58 +0000 http://hardlikesoftware.com/weblog/2008/02/15/script-injection-and-stringtemplate/#comment-7495 I wrote a JavaScript implementation of Stringtemplate. I decided to do it a bit differently than the Java implementation in that the antlr component isn't written in JavaScript. Instead, I wrote a set of templates (in Stringtemplate of course) that take a template group, plus a list of templates to include as input, and produce an JavaScript representation (in what is basically JSON notation) of those templates as a JavaScript file that can be included directly. This makes it quite a bit smaller and faster than a full implementation, as well as only taking me about a week to write (including a unit test for every supported template type). You are welcome to download/use the code - unfortunately, I needed a few fixes to Stringtemplate, so it includes a complete Stringtemplate. The svn checkout would be: svn co http://dcm4che.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dcm4che/dcm4chee/xero-util/trunk/stringtemplate stringtemplate I have submitted the changes back for the core components, but it doesn't look like they have been incorporated yet. If/when that is done, I will remove all the stringtemplate duplicated code and directly use a published stringtemplate library. I wrote a JavaScript implementation of Stringtemplate.
