Jinja is a fast, expressive, and extensible templating engine for Python that compiles templates to optimized Python code. It supports template inheritance, macros, autoescaping, sandboxed rendering, async support, and i18n.
Use cases
- render html pages for a flask or django app
- generate text documents from templates like csv or latex
- safely render untrusted user templates in a sandbox
- create reusable page layouts with template inheritance
- generate emails or config files from data
- add internationalization to templates with babel
When to choose
- you need a fast, mature Python template engine with rich features
- you want autoescaping to prevent XSS in HTML output
- you need sandboxed rendering of untrusted templates
- you want template inheritance, macros, and extensibility
When to avoid
- you need client-side JavaScript templating
- you only need simple string substitution without logic (string.Template suffices)
- your project is not Python-based
