You provide a template file (or stdin), data in one of several formats (JSON, YAML, XML, INI), and the tool outputs the rendered result to stdout or a file. Data can come from a file, environment variables, command-line key-value pairs, or regex-matched environment variables, with clear precedence rules for how sources are merged.\n\nIt's useful for scripting, build pipelines, and configuration generation where you want template rendering without a full application framework. The tool is small and straightforward\u2014it depends on Jinja2, PyYAML, xmltodict, and argparse-ext. It has not been actively maintained since late 2021, though the codebase is stable and has no known security issues.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need lightweight command-line template rendering and don't mind a dormant project. The package is stable, has low install friction, no vulnerabilities, and a small dependency footprint. GPLv3 licensing is a consideration if you're building proprietary tools. The lack of recent maintenance is not a blocker for simple use cases, but don't expect bug fixes or new features."},"id":"jinja-cli","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jinja-cli","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jinja-cli.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/jinja-cli/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-12-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"jinja-cli","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"a command line interface to jinja;"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":195804,"position":9805,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.2"}
