Which web frameworks, html template languages, OTHER THAN JSP offer compile-time binding?


I know JSP fits this description, but I'm looking for more modern alternatives.

Unfortunately it seems most modern languages and frameworks are dynamically typed, even the ones which are Java-based.

Related question (JSP was the only answer here): Are there any web frameworks for JVM with data binding checked at compilation time?


Solution

  • This is rather old question, but I have an answer, since I've implemented static-mustache library to provide a type-safe template engine based on mustache syntax.

    It checks both syntax errors and type-errors (like missing property) at compile-time. It requires zero build configuration as it's a standard annotation processor.

    Templates remain pure mustache templates with all type-information extracted from normal Java-class used for rendering.
