## What it is
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
