{"id":26308,"library":"remixml","title":"Remixml","description":"Remixml is an XML/HTML-like macro language and template compiler engine for JavaScript, currently at v7.0.11. It compiles templates directly into minified JavaScript with zero runtime dependencies, supports auto-escaping, asynchronous control, user-defined tags, filters, and whitespace preservation. Unlike many templating engines, Remixml uses XML entities (e.g., &scope.varname;) instead of artificial delimiters, integrates smoothly with existing XHTML/HTML syntax highlighting, and includes a validating XHTML parser. It runs in Node.js (ES2018+) and modern browsers, with a runtime size under 7 KB gzipped.","status":"active","version":"7.0.11","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"git://github.com/BuGlessRB/remixml","tags":["javascript","templating","XHTML","HTML","parser","compiler","autoescape","template"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install remixml","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add remixml","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add remixml","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[],"imports":[{"note":"ESM default import; CJS require() works but no named exports available.","wrong":"const Remixml = require('remixml')","symbol":"Remixml","correct":"import Remixml from 'remixml'"},{"note":"parse2txt is a method on the default export, not a named export.","wrong":"import { parse2txt } from 'remixml'","symbol":"parse2txt","correct":"import Remixml from 'remixml'; Remixml.parse2txt(template, data)"},{"note":"compile is a method on the default export.
