KMX

KMX is a template engine for Kotlin: XML markup with Kotlin expressions, like JSX. Each .kmx file compiles to Kotlin source, so kotlinc type-checks every expression, and rendering builds a tree that is always well-formed XML.

import com.example.Order

props: Order

<p>Order #{id}: {items.size} items</p>

OrderCard.render(order).toXml()   // <p>Order #1042: 2 items</p>

Pages

• Expressions: where Kotlin can appear in a template, how its extent is found, which types each position accepts, name resolution, nullability, evaluation order, whitespace, escaping and error messages.
• Generated Code: the Kotlin a template compiles to, statement by statement.
• Editor Support: the IntelliJ IDEA plugin and the TextMate grammar, and how the plugin analyzes a template.

Setup, the module overview and a syntax tour are in the README.
