Checksums with FreshMarker File
Some time ago, I had the idea that a checksum calculation could be added to the FreshMarker File library. FreshMarker File is an extension for FreshMarker to support the Java types File and Path. A checksum support would allow the current checksum to be added to lists of files without any major det

Context-Sensitive Tokenization With CongoCC
If you want to interpret a programming language or a DSL, there's no way around using a parser generator. At the heart of FreshMarker is a template parser generated by the CongoCC parser generator. I can't praise this JavaCC successor from Jon Revusky highly enough. Many new features and completely revised parts m

Quo Vadis, Lambda?
To implement a new built-in for sequences, lambdas were added as a new language component of the FreshMarker Expression Language. The lambda expression made it much easier to map the semantics of the new count built-in in an easily readable syntax. Now that lambda expressions are available, what else can they be used for and what s

Select Operator for FreshMarker
An important component of the FreshMarker template engine is the built-in expression language. The expression language is used to utilize not only variables but also complex expressions in directives and interpolations. When evaluating other expression languages for customer projects, somet

Diagram As Code
I recently sat in a lecture about PlantUML and the advantages of Diagram As Code. Diagram As Code is a special variant of Documentation As Code. It is the possibility for software developers to create their documentation in the form of text files without the use of word processing systems.

In Search Of Performance (2)
This article on performance was not actually intended to be a multi-part article. But if you take a closer look at your own code through performance glasses, you will quickly discover further bottlenecks. In this case, it's an unclean modeling that FreshMarker has been
