The Token-System is very advanced but simple. It's best suited for
- simple templates/views
- templates/views which don't need much server logic
- JavaScript based templates/views which just need an HTML-container for the initial scripts-tags
To learn how to use the tokens-system, visit the Learn Tokens Templates page.
Together with the Visual Query Designer you can create advanced, powerful systems and it offers many advantages like
- Safer than Razor - because you cannot place any real code in this template (which could access databases or the windows-folder)
- Editable by normal users without host-permissions (because it's safer)
- Much simpler than Razor and easy to understand
Drawbacks of Tokens
- You cannot place any real logic into the template. So to do advanced things you have to do it in JavaScript or move to Razor
