Shopify Liquid is a templating language, not a development engine. It is a programming language that allows developers to create custom templates and themes for Shopify stores. Liquid provides the structure and syntax for creating dynamic web pages, but it does not have the functionality of a full-fledged programming language.
Liquid is used in combination with other web development technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create custom Shopify themes. Liquid code is processed on the server-side, meaning that it is executed by Shopify’s servers to generate the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that is sent to the user’s browser.
So while Shopify Liquid is not a development engine per se, it is a key component of the Shopify platform and is essential for anyone looking to create custom storefronts or themes on the platform.
