StringTemplate 4 (ST) is a Java template engine for generating source code, web pages, emails, or any other formatted text output, with ports for other languages. It strictly enforces model-view separation and is particularly well suited to multi-targeted code generators, site skins, and internationalization/localization.

Use cases

• generate source code from templates in a code generator
• render web pages or emails from templates
• build multi-site skins with shared templates
• internationalize and localize formatted text output
• power the output layer of an ANTLR-based tool

When to choose

• you need strict enforcement of model-view separation in templates
• you are building a multi-target code generator
• you want a mature, battle-tested Java template engine

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured web templating layer with rich logic and helpers
• you want a template engine outside the JVM ecosystem without a port
• you need actively evolving features; development is slow and maintenance-focused
