What is x-tmpl?

x-tmpl has no real meaning, it simply stops the browser from interpreting the script as javascript.

It's mostly used with jquery templates or knockoutjs template binding.

At some point, a javascript data object will be used in conjunction with the template to render some html. The values in the data object will replace those marked with {%} and similar in the template, with some {%} sections reflecting code flow such as loops etc.

I'm not sure which templating library uses {%} however, it's not jquery templates, jsrender or knockout. You'd have to check what libraries are being referenced in the sample code.


So, what type is text/x-tmpl?

A non-standard one. Looks like a template though.

What are these {% and %} tags?

Part of the template language.

What parser executes this code?

Probably one written in JavaScript and imported in another <script> element on the same page.
