how does your templating approach handle this task?
{
"settings" : {
"foo" : "low",
"bar" : "high",
"baz" : "low"
}
}

NOTE: see this comment for clarification of why this
scenario is structured this way intentionally:

Scenario:
Given the data structure above in "1.json", how would you
use a templating engine to generate this snippet of html
as a string? NOTE: the spirit of this question is to
generate a string of markup with a template engine, NOT
to do DOM manipulation. Imagine needing to generate this
kind of markup server-side to send over the wire.

<h1>Settings</h1>
<h2>foo</h2>
<input type="radio" name="foo" value="low" checked> low
<input type="radio" name="foo" value="high"> high
<h2>bar</h2>
<input type="radio" name="bar" value="low"> low
<input type="radio" name="bar" value="high" checked> high
<h2>baz</h2>
<input type="radio" name="baz" value="low" checked> low
<input type="radio" name="baz" value="high"> high
here's how "grips" template engine would handle this scenario:

For reference, I created a Gist that shows the input Raptor template, the generated HTML and the compiled template:
