# JHaml

A Java implementaion of [Haml](http://haml-lang.com/) (XHTML Abstraction Markup Language).

Haml features not currently supported:

* Interpolation. (Handled by Grails if rendering to GSP)

* Ugly mode for faster rendering speed.

* Interpreting lists as attribute values, e.g. {:id => [:a, :b]} yields id='a_b'

* Whitespace removal with '<' and '>'

* Multiline with |

* Escaping of expressions with '!=' and '&='

* Attribute Methods

* Object References: []

* 'encoding' option

Is is possible to use the related project Sass/SCSS from Java by using JRuby. Emil Hernvall is also working on a Java port of SCSS, called [SassyBarista](https://github.com/EmilHernvall/SassyBarista). The similar CSS framework LESS can be called from Java with Mozilla Rhino, as the [Asual](http://www.asual.com/lesscss/) project does.

## Using

The project is available in a maven repo. To include with gradle:

repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        mavenRepo url: "https://raw.github.com/raymyers/raymyers-mvn-repo/master/releases"
    }
    dependencies {
        compile group: 'com.cadrlife.jhaml', name: 'jhaml', version: '0.1.7'
    }

Then parse Haml to HTML from code:

String html = new JHaml().parse("some haml");

There is a Grails plugin, Haml4Grails, that can be used to generate GSPs on the fly from Haml views. Integration with Spring MVC 3 and other Java frameworks is being explored. The biggest barrier is taglib support. Contact me (Ray) if interested.
