Package soy is an implementation of Google's Closure Templates, which are data-driven templates for generating HTML.

Compared to html/template, Closure Templates have a few advantages

• Intuitive templating language that supports simple control flow, expressions and arithmetic.
• The same templates may be used from Go, Java, and Javascript.
• Internationalization is built in
• High performance (> 3x faster than html/template in BenchmarkSimpleTemplate)
• Hot reload for templates
• Parse a directory tree of templates
