OMTemplate

OMTemplate is a software library designed to simplify the creation and management of templates for various data structures. It aims to provide a flexible and efficient way to generate output, such as configuration files, reports, or code, based on predefined templates and dynamic data. The core functionality of OMTemplate revolves around a templating engine that parses template files and substitutes placeholders with values from a provided data context.

The library typically supports a simple yet powerful templating syntax, often involving special markers to denote variables, control structures like loops and conditionals, and potentially more advanced features such as function calls or template inclusion. Users can define their templates in plain text files using this syntax. The data context, which holds the information to be inserted into the template, can be provided in various formats, commonly as dictionaries, objects, or structured data.

OMTemplate is often used in scenarios where repetitive output generation is required. For instance, it can be integrated into build systems to generate project files, used in web frameworks to render dynamic HTML, or employed in data processing pipelines to format results. The emphasis is on separating the presentation logic (the template) from the data, making both easier to maintain and modify independently. Its design prioritizes ease of use and performance for common templating tasks.
