DotLiquid is a .NET port of Shopify's Liquid template language, providing a safe, logic-less template engine for C# and other .NET languages. It parses and renders templates while strictly controlling which objects and members templates can access, making it suitable for user-editable templates.

Use cases

• render liquid templates in C#
• safe template engine for user-editable templates in .NET
• generate html emails from templates in dotnet
• render templates stored in a database
• port ruby liquid templates to .NET
• logicless templating library for .NET applications
• let users customize page templates without running insecure code

When to choose

• You need Liquid-compatible template syntax in a .NET application
• You want users to safely edit templates without exposing business logic or insecure code execution
• You need to render templates from a database or for emails
• You want templates portable across Liquid implementations on other platforms like Ruby, Node, or Python

When to avoid

• You need a view engine deeply integrated with ASP.NET MVC or Razor features
• You want complex logic inside templates rather than in controllers
• Your project is not on the .NET platform
