Shopify/liquid

This system is a Ruby-based Liquid template engine library that provides a robust framework for parsing, rendering, and managing template files. It features a modernized architecture with explicit lexer and parser components, supporting strict and lax parsing modes, along with a comprehensive suite of template tags and filters. The codebase includes extensive integration and unit tests to ensure compatibility across different Ruby configurations and performance benchmarks to track rendering efficiency.

This period focused on a comprehensive architectural overhaul of the Liquid template engine, introducing a new parsing and rendering system with explicit classes for the lexer, parser, and environment. The team modernized the codebase by enforcing frozen string literals, updating dependencies, and removing legacy components like the Rails view handler and old test suite.
