TemplateLite, Small, Fast, and Smarty Compatible Template Engine
Zend DevZone pointed today to TemplateLite, a light templating engine compatible with Smarty but much faster. Websites which are running smarty and experiencing high memory usage would be certainly interested to give it a try.
Template Lite released version 1.20 yesterday. (wait, that can’t be right…there’s no BETA…where is the beta?!?) It is billed as a drop in replacement for the venerable Smarty Template Engine. It’s selling point is faster execution and a smaller memory footprint at the expense of some of the options. Template Lite started life as a project named Smarty Lite but for reasons too boring to go into here, the original code base was abandoned.
