What is the best way to ensure HTML entities are escaped in StringTemplate

Question

Assuming the following string template, is being given a list of Java Bean objects:

$people:{p|
$p.name$ $p.email
}$
         


        

Answer 1

It's not necessary to write your own renderer for this. You may use the builtin renderer org.stringtemplate.v4.StringRenderer

group.registerRenderer(String.class, new StringRenderer());

and add in your template :

$people:{p|
$p.name;format="xml-encode"$ $p.email;format="xml-encode"$
}$
