What is WebMacro?
WebMacro is an HTML template engine and back end servlet development framework. It's free software, and pure Java.WebMacro simplifies servlet development by separating programming work from page design: Page designers create HTML templates with WebMacro's powerful script language. Programmers work in clean Java code, free of HTML and other presentational clutter.
WebMacro's philosophy can be summed up like this:
Things that you don't care about should get out of your face.As a software developer (even if you are also a page designer) you want to think about coding software. You think about data structures, objects, and the flow of information. You don't want to be bothered with the HTML syntax, and you dread having to embed large chunks of HTML and JavaScript into your otherwise elegant source code.As a web designer (even if you are also a programmer) you want to think about the way things look. You pay attention to colors, how much whitespace to put between sections, how the page should be organized, and the relationship between objects on the page. You don't want to be bothered with ugly software syntax, and you hate having to edit program code to change the way a table looks.
