Question 1

How to integrate JStachio with Spring Boot?

Accepted Answer

JStachio offers first-class Spring support with provided plugins. Add the dependencies and configure the annotation processor in your build file, similar to the Maven example in the README, to enable type-safe templating in Spring applications.

Question 2

JStachio vs JMustache: which is better for my project?

Accepted Answer

Choose JStachio if you prioritize compile-time type safety and performance, as it compiles templates to Java code. JMustache is better for runtime flexibility and dynamic template loading without recompilation, but lacks static checking.

Question 3

Can JStachio handle templates stored in a database at runtime?

Accepted Answer

Not directly; JStachio relies on compile-time template compilation. For dynamic loading, you'd need to pre-compile templates or use the fallback rendering with JMustache, which sacrifices some type safety.

Question 4

What are the performance benchmarks for JStachio compared to Thymeleaf?

Accepted Answer

Benchmarks show JStachio is significantly faster than Thymeleaf and other engines, with detailed results in the template-benchmark repository linked in the README for both string and UTF-8 output.

Question 5

How do I set up JStachio in a Gradle project?

Accepted Answer

Add the jstachio dependency and jstachio-apt annotation processor to your build.gradle, as shown in the README. Ensure Java 17 or higher is configured for compilation to meet the minimum version requirement.

Question 6

Does JStachio support generating JSON or XML templates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, JStachio supports non-HTML templates with extensible escaping for content types like JSON or XML. You can customize escaping rules to suit different output formats beyond HTML.
