InTheirOwnWords
ClearSilver is a fast and powerful HTML templating system.
ClearSilver is language neutral, allowing you to seamlessly mix C, C++, Python, Perl, Java, PHP, and any other programming language you use, all in the same site, or even the same page.
ClearSilver is fast, avoiding the problems created by language-specific template systems written in slow script languages such as Python or Perl.
ClearSilver is easy to use. Unlike XML/XSLT, which are complicated to setup and understand. You'll quickly find that ClearSilver is the easiest way to develop dynamic webpages.
