## Overview

Squarespace's template language is based on JSON-Template, a minimal

declarative template language for Python and JavaScript, heavily influenced by

[google-ctemplate][goog-ct].

## Objectives

The project was started with these objectives:

 * Move away from using [Node.js][nodejs] for backend template compilation.

 * Must meet or exceed performance of the legacy system. The compiler can

   potentially execute several times for each page view, so it needs to be

   really fast.

 * Improve performance over the legacy system.

 * Minimize memory usage. For example, parsing can often create and discard a

   high number of temporary strings.

 * Support additional features for server-side compilation.

 * High test coverage.

 * Support syntax error recovery.

 * Support a template validation mode.

## Measured Results

 * Average 20x performance increase over previous Node.js + JSON-Template

   system.
