  // JSON Jinja //

     a server/client templating system

  -- What is it?

     JSON Jinja is a templating language inspired by Jinja2 with the

     idea that a template should be able to operate on the same JSON

     data on the server and on the client with the same semantics.

     It follows largely the Jinja2 feature set but restricts and

     changes semantics to be better compilable to JavaScript and to

     better work on different execution environments.

     The end goal is to define the language so that it can be

     implemented in different languages without having to implement

     a whole virtual machine or something similar.

     This implementation however is written in Python based on my

     templatetk library and will generate JavaScript code for the

     client that can be run with a minimal runtime library.

  -- Why?

     To be able to use the same JSON data to render a template both

     on the server and the client.  The idea is that you render

     the template on the server the first time the page is loaded

     and from that point onwards you only transmit JSON to the client

     and render on the clientside.

     If a browser does not have a proper history API or JavaScript

     one can continue to request new pages from the server and

     render them there.

  -- Requirements?

     Currently Python 2.6 and templatetk from my github repo.

     templatetk and this library are both evolving at the moment.
