mustache.go is an implementation of the mustache template language in Go. It is better suited for website templates than Go's native pkg/template. mustache.go is fast -- it parses templates efficiently and stores them in a tree-like structure which allows for fast execution.
For more information about mustache, check out the mustache project page or the mustache manual.

There are only four methods in this package:
func Render(data string, context ...interface{}) string
func RenderFile(filename string, context ...interface{}) string
func ParseString(data string) (*template, os.Error)
func ParseFile(filename string) (*template, os.Error)
The Render method takes a string and a data source, which is generally a map or struct, and returns the output string. If the template file contains an error, the return value is a description of the error. There's a similar method, RenderFile, which takes a filename as an argument and uses that for the template contents.
data := mustache.Render("hello {{c}}", map[string]string{"c":"world"})
println(data)
If you're planning to render the same template multiple times, you do it efficiently by compiling the template first:
tmpl,_ := mustache.Parse("hello {{c}}")
var buf bytes.Buffer;
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
tmpl.Render (map[string]string { "c":"world"}, &buf)
}
For more example usage, please see mustache_test.go
mustache.go follows the official mustache HTML escaping rules. That is, if you enclose a variable with two curly brackets, {{var}}, the contents are HTML-escaped. For instance, strings like 5 > 2 are converted to 5 > 2. To use raw characters, use three curly brackets {{{var}}}.
