It uses the Blade template engine.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features

- Use as many Blade sections as you want in your views.
- Collections (e.g. blog posts, news, etc.) – without any configuration needed.
- Add YAML Front Matter to your views.
- API & View Templates – fill a template with data from an API, and turn it into pages e.g. for retrieving blog posts from a headless CMS.
- No default NPM/JavaScript files added.
- Supports custom directory names.
- Markdown support (might still have a few bugs during alpha).
- Capro class to fetch and filter all views (pages, collections and ViewTemplates).
