Scriban is a fast, lightweight, safe scripting language and text templating engine for .NET, with a compatibility mode for parsing Liquid templates. It provides a full AST, a rich expression language, and can be embedded as a general-purpose scripting engine or small DSL host.

Use cases

• render html templates from .NET models
• parse and render shopify liquid templates in dotnet
• embed a safe scripting language in a .NET application
• build a small DSL for configuration or code generation
• generate emails or reports from templates
• evaluate user-supplied templates safely

When to choose

• you need high-performance text templating in .NET with liquid compatibility
• you want a sandboxable scripting/DSL engine with fine-grained runtime control
• you need async rendering for web servers or cloud functions

When to avoid

• you need a full general-purpose programming language runtime
• your project is not on .NET
• you need logicless templates only and prefer mustache's stricter simplicity
