chinstrap - mustache C library

Overview

chinstrap is a C library which provides mustache template processing. It is intended to be easily usable as a library which can be bound from other languages. It takes a more academic approach to compiling mustache templates and provides such things as a scanner, lexer and parser.

Chinstrap uses 4 stages for successfully rendering mustache templates. The scanner runs through the template and emits single characters to work with. In the next stage the lexer creates meaningful (in the mustache context) tokens of the retrieved characters. These token are then given to the parser, which knows the state machine to render mustache templates and creates a parse tree based on it. The parse tree is then passed to the renderer along with the context to create the rendered template.
