Pebble is a Java templating engine inspired by Twig (and similar to Jinja), featuring template inheritance, a rich set of built-in tags and filters, and an extensible language. It ships with built-in autoescaping for security, integrated internationalization support, and Spring Boot starter integrations.

Use cases

• render html templates in a java web application
• use twig or jinja style templating on the jvm
• share a common layout across pages with template inheritance
• integrate a template engine with spring boot or spring mvc
• autoescape output to prevent xss in generated html
• generate emails or reports from templates in java

When to choose

• you are building a Java or Spring Boot application and need server-side HTML templating
• you want Twig/Jinja-like syntax with template inheritance on the JVM
• you need built-in autoescaping and i18n out of the box
• you want an extensible engine where custom tags, filters, and functions are easy to add

When to avoid

• you need client-side or JavaScript templating
• your project is not on the JVM
• you need a logic-less template engine like Mustache
• you require extremely high-performance streaming rendering beyond typical template engine capabilities
