Smaty的特点

Some of Smarty’s features:

It is extremely fast.

It is efficient since the PHP parser does the dirty work.

No template parsing overhead, only compiles once.

It is smart about recompiling only the template files that have changed.

You can make custom functions and custom variable modifiers, so the template language is extremely extensible.

Configurable template delimiter tag syntax, so you can use {}, {{}}, <!–{}—>, etc.

The if/elseif/else/endif constructs are passed to the PHP parser, so the {if …} expression syntax can be as simple or as complex as you like.

Unlimited nesting of sections, ifs, etc. allowed.

It is possible to embed PHP code right in your template files, although this may not be needed (nor recommended) since the engine is so customizable.

Built-in caching support

Arbitrary template sources

Custom cache handling functions

Smaty的一些特点:

非常非常的快!

用php分析器干这个苦差事是有效的

不需要多余的模板语法解析,仅仅是编译一次

仅对修改过的模板文件进行重新编译

可以编辑’自定义函数’和自定义’变量’,因此这种模板语言完全可以扩展

可以自行设置模板定界符,所以你可以使用{}, {{}}, <!–{}—>, 等等

诸如 if/elseif/else/endif 语句可以被传递到php语法解析器,所以 {if …} 表达式是简单的或者是复合的,随你喜欢啦

如果允许的话,section之间可以无限嵌套

引擎是可以定制的.可以内嵌php代码到你的模板文件中,虽然这可能并不需要(不推荐)

内建缓存支持

独立模板文件

可自定义缓存处理函数
