Features
Making Use of the Go Standard Template Package
Ace fully utilizes the strength of the html/template package. You can embed actions of the template package in Ace templates. Ace also uses nested template definitions of the template package and Ace templates can pass pipelines (parameters) to other templates which they include.
Simple Syntax
Ace has a simple syntax and this makes template files simple and light.
Caching Function
Ace has a caching function which caches the result data of the templates parsing process. You can omit the templates parsing process and save template parsing time by using this function.
Binary Template Load Function
Ace has a binary template load function which loads Ace templates from binary data in memory instead of template files on disk. You can compile your web application into one binary file by using this function. go-bindata is the best for generating binary data from template files.
