FreeMarker: Freemarker 2.3.10 is an open-source Java template system that exposes Java servlet variables to HTML, sort of a super SSI. It is not a programming language. It works independently of Servlets. If gives you an HTML expression, IF, CASE, INCLUDE, FUNCTION… The project is now hosted by SourceForge. You might this of it as a simplified JSP. It is fast, simple and the documentation is superb. You markup your HTML with FTL FreeMarker Template Language tags that insert data from a tree-structed data model.
This would be a good choice for a simple project where you are not already a competent Servlet programmer, and just need to get the code out quickly. It fits into the same niche as PHP, but is more elegant.
