Quicktemplate for Go: Like Jinja2 for Python, but Never html/template

Apr 09, 2025

Recently, when organizing the code of our project, I found that the code for many activities was very similar in structure and the functions it provided. To facilitate future development, I spent some time writing a tool for generating code frameworks to minimize repetitive work. The code itself is not complex and is closely related to the project code, so I won't go into details here. During this process, I found that the Go standard template libraries `text/template` and `html/template` were rather restrictive and inconvenient to use. I learned from GitHub about the third-party template library `quicktemplate`, which is powerful, has a simple syntax, and is easy to use. Today, we're going to introduce `quicktemplate`.
