             Summary: Support handlebars as a scripting language
                 Key: SLING-2919
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2919
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Scripting
            Reporter: Ian Boston


Handlebars.js is a popular scripting language used client side. The markup is simple and straightforward, much like velocity in some ways, but without any of the confusion ove template or MVC. There is a version of Handlebars for java that uses an identical template language and appears to be well supported and has some nice features such as pre-compiling scripts serverside into Javascript functions and modules. (not all that relevant for server side scripting, but interesting none the less).

I am going to experiment with a Sling Script engine in the whiteboard area to see if its viable to use handlebars java as an alternative to JSP.
