What is FreeMarker?
FreeMarker is a “template engine”; a generic tool to generate text output (anything from HTML to autogenerated source code) based on templates.
FreeMarker is designed to be practical for the generation of HTML Web pages, particularly by servlet-based applications following the MVC (Model View Controller) pattern.
Although FreeMarker has some programming capabilities, it is not a full-blown programming language like PHP.
FreeMarker is not a Web application framework. It is suitable as a component in a Web application framework, but the FreeMarker engine itself knows nothing about HTTP or servlets. It simply generates text.
