Life, the Universe, and Everything

Distal is a Javascript tool that automatically fills your webpage with data from a JSON source. Freeing you from needing to traverse nodes or create DOM trees just to add dynamic data. Allowing you to focus on the important things such as data logic and webpage design.

Distal uses a concept created by Zope used in Python projects called Template Attribute Language (TAL).
