Very very simple jQuery templating "engine"

tmpl.js

function tmpl(template, data) {
	return template.text().replace(/\{([\w\.]*)\}/g, function(str, key) {
		var v = data[key];
		return (typeof v !== "undefined" && v !== null) ? v : "";
	})
}

/* 

Usage:
	html:
	
		<script type="text/template" id="item-template">
		    <p>{firstName} {lastName}</p>
		</script>
	
	js:
		$.ajax({
			type: 'GET',
			url: url,
			success: function(response) {
				$.each(response, function (index, item) {
					$('#container').append(tmpl($('#item-template'), item))
				})	
			},
			error: function(e) {
				console.error(e);
			}
		});
