Liquid is a safe, non-evaluating template language written in Ruby by Shopify, used to render dynamic content in web apps and emails. It separates parsing/compiling from rendering so templates can be stored in a database and rendered with a variables hash without executing user-written code.
Use cases
- let users edit templates without running insecure code on my server
- render templates stored in a database
- generate dynamic HTML emails from templates
- build customizable storefront themes
- replace my current templating engine with cleaner markup
When to choose
- you need user-editable templates that are safe to render server-side
- you want a stateless parse-once, render-many template engine
- you are building Shopify themes or Shopify-compatible apps
When to avoid
- you need arbitrary logic or code execution inside templates
- you want a JavaScript or Python-native template engine
- you need high-performance templating with complex control flow
