        if err != nil {
                panic(err)
        }

        // print true
}

Contributting

It parse the template by using text/template/parse, and the realization of it also refrences the text/template package.

The template syntax is same with text/template, but only support simple expression that returning a golang value, no range, no if-else, no block.
