jte (Java Template Engine) is a secure, lightweight, and fast template engine for Java and Kotlin that compiles templates to typesafe code with context-sensitive HTML escaping. It includes an IntelliJ plugin with completion and refactoring support and integrates with frameworks like Spring Boot, Javalin, Vert.x, Ktor, and Quarkus.

Use cases

• render server-side HTML pages in a Java or Kotlin web app
• typesafe templating without learning a new expression language
• secure HTML output with automatic context-sensitive escaping
• hot-reload templates during development
• integrate templating with Spring Boot, Javalin, Ktor, or Vert.x
• get IDE completion and refactoring for templates in IntelliJ

When to choose

• you want fast, typesafe server-side rendering on the JVM
• you prefer writing plain Java or Kotlin expressions in templates
• compile-time HTML escaping and XSS safety matter to you
• you use IntelliJ and want first-class template tooling

When to avoid

• you need client-side JavaScript templating
• your stack is not on the JVM
• you need a designer-friendly non-programmer template syntax
