Templator (JavaLite - Common Classes 3.4-j11 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.javalite.common.Templator

```
public class Templator
extends Object
```
Simple implementation of small quick templates filled with dynamic data. An example of a template:
```
     Hello, {{name}}!
 
```
Usage:
```
     Templator templator = new Templator("/hello_template.txt");
     System.out.println(templator.merge(map("name", "Kyla"))); // prints: Hello, Kyla!
 
```
Note: Yes, I'm aware of existence of Mustache, Freemarker, Velocity, etc. This implementation is for quickly loading small snippets of text merged with data. The goal is to eliminate code pollution. If you need more power, use bigger frameworks.
