GXP is a templating system used to output XML/SGML markup (most often HTML). Used internally at Google for many years, we are now open sourcing this tool for community use and development. GXP has the following core features:

  • support for multiple languages (currently Java and C++)
  • support for runtime compilation
  • compile-time type checking and partial markup validation
  • automatic escaping of untrusted content
  • internationalization support
  • a convenient parameter passing/modularization system
  • very lightweight runtime system
  • strong restrictions against imperative code attempts to force separation of application logic and templates

This talk is targeted at developers proficient in Java or C++ with knowledge of HTML. We will provide a brief overview of GXP including sample code and resources for those interested in learning more.
