Template To Liquid API

POST https://api.findutils.com/api/tools/template-to-liquid/execute

Convert a Handlebars, Mustache or Knap template into Shopify Liquid. Blocks become if/unless/for, Handlebars scopes (this, ../, #with, block params) are resolved to Liquid paths, @index and loop.* become forloop.*, Knap elseif becomes elsif, Knap colon arguments become comma arguments, dayjs date formats become strftime, the ?? fallback becomes | default, helpers with arguments become filters, partials become render tags, and comments become comment blocks. Handlebars and Mustache HTML-escape outputs by default, so their {{ }} outputs gain | escape unless escape_output is false; Knap writes Markdown and gets none. Every construct with no Liquid form (helpers, @key, not inside a compound condition, Markdown-only Knap filters) is kept as written and listed in warnings with its line, never dropped silently. Jinja2, Twig and Nunjucks templates are refused, not half-converted. Auto detects the dialect. The browser page at /developers/json-to-liquid/ previews the result with LiquidJS.
