if you've already used some templating engines, then this won't blow your mind.

Build

To build it you run

make

which will generate the tt file, the command-line utility.

Embed

If you want to embed TinyTemplate in your own C project, just pop tinytemplate.c and tinytemplate.h in you own source tree and compile then as they were your own.

Command-line usage

The tt utility gets the template string from stdin and writes the evaluated version to stdout. Any errors are reported to stderr, as you would expect. To provide any parameters to the template, you can specify a json file containing them. Here's an example usage which transforms a template into an HTML page

cat page.tt | ./tt params.json > page.html

Internals

TinyTemplate works by compiling a template string into a bytecode program, and then evaluating the program to generate the output. (TODO)
