"Its the Best Open source template maker for Document creation"

5/5

What do you like best about Apache Velocity?

You want to make a document ms word format or any document with some static and some dynamic content the Apache Velocity is the solution. You want to send a mail with some dynamic content use Velocity. The creation of tags are very simple and the xml format makes it easy to understand and directly edit the xml to fetch the data. With its feature of handling very complex data type and map list string all features with if else and loop iteration its very easy to get information from any data object. The template creation also helps in creating document based xml template where you can add images formatting and other features and same goes for mails and other usages of the template.
