What is PURE and why?

To build web apps, we needed a simple and ultra-fast templating tool to generate HTML from JSON data.
Then we wanted the representation and the logic (HTML and Javascript) to be totally separated.

So we have built PURE, standing for Pure Unobtrusive Rendering Engine.
As we found it was a quite new and refreshing way of building web pages, we decided to put it open source.

If you get data as JSON services and want to render your HTML on the browser, PURE will certainly help you.
It can be server-side too, using Jaxer (other JS server engine should be ok too, but never tested)
A port to Erlang is planned in our project.

Here are some key features:

• Build and render your templates with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, nothing else.
• Unobtrusive, the HTML remains absolutely untouched.
• As a result, any part of your HTML document can become a template.
• Ultra-fast, templates are compiled from HTML to Javascript for blazing rendering speed.
• Runs on the browser side.
• JSON data support.
• It currently supports jQuery, DOMAssistant, prototype.js, Mootools and Sizzle.
• Open Source, and released under the MIT License. It means you can use it and modify it as much as you want and where you want.
