-
- <p>
- Velocity is a Java-based template engine. It permits anyone to use
- a simple yet powerful template language to reference objects
- defined in Java code.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- When Velocity is used for web development, Web designers can work in
- parallel with Java programmers to develop web sites according to the
- Model-View-Controller (MVC) model, meaning that web page designers
- can focus solely on creating a site that looks good, and programmers
- can focus solely on writing top-notch code. Velocity separates Java
- code from the web pages, making the web site more maintainable over
- its lifespan and providing a viable alternative to <a
- href="http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/">Java Server Pages</a>
- (JSPs) or <a href="http://www.php.net/">PHP</a>.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Velocity's capabilities reach well beyond the realm of the web;
- for example, it can be used to generate SQL, PostScript and XML
- (see <a href="docs/anakia.html">Anakia</a> for more information on
- XML transformations) from templates. It can be used either as a
- standalone utility for generating source code and reports, or as
- an integrated component of other systems. For instance, Velocity
- provides template services for the <a
- href="http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/">Turbine</a> web
- application framework, together resulting in a view engine
- facilitating development of web applications according to a true
- MVC model.
