For anyone in 2020+ here: I've started https://github.com/adoconnection/RazorEngineCore

It has latest ASP.NET Core 3.1.1 Razor and it's syntax features.

Usage is quite the same as RazorEngine:

RazorEngine razorEngine = new RazorEngine();
RazorEngineCompiledTemplate template = razorEngine.Compile("Hello @Model.Name");

string result = template.Run(new
{
    Name = "Alex"
});

Console.WriteLine(result);

Fast saving and loading

// save to file
template.SaveToFile("myTemplate.dll");

//save to stream
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
template.SaveToStream(memoryStream);

var template1 = RazorEngineCompiledTemplate.LoadFromFile("myTemplate.dll");
var template2 = RazorEngineCompiledTemplate.LoadFromStream(myStream);
