SHOPIFY
Liquid
Shopify's open-source templating language, used to add dynamic logic to theme files, loops, conditionals, variable rendering, and access to shop data like products and customers.
Liquid is what makes Shopify themes themes rather than HTML. It's a Ruby-flavoured templating syntax: `{% if product.available %}` and `{{ product.title }}` style tags.
Custom Liquid sections are how we extend Shopify 2.0 themes properly. Block-based section schemas let editors compose pages from the section editor without touching code, while the underlying Liquid keeps the layout predictable.
Liquid is also widely supported outside Shopify, Jekyll, GitHub Pages, plenty of other tools, so the knowledge transfers.
