Package org.springframework.ai.template.st

Class StTemplateRenderer

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.ai.template.st.StTemplateRenderer

All Implemented Interfaces:

BiFunction<String,Map<String,Object>,String>, TemplateRenderer

public class StTemplateRenderer
extends Object
implements TemplateRenderer

Renders a template using the StringTemplate (ST) v4 library.

This renderer allows customization of delimiters, validation behavior when template variables are missing, and how StringTemplate's built-in functions are handled during validation.

Use the builder() to create and configure instances.

Thread safety: This class is safe for concurrent use. Each call to apply(String, Map) creates a new StringTemplate instance, and no mutable state is shared between threads.

Since:

1.0.0
