Fest

Fest was developed by Mail.ru's development team and is a fast template engine for easily outputting content inside predefined structures.

Fest stores templates as XML and reads content data from JSON files.

This enables programmers to create dynamic pages from a wide variety of content sources, allowing them to mass produce pages using just some simple JavaScript code.
