Shopify Liquid..
Explained

1. Objects

Objects dynamically output data or variables and are wrapped in double curly braces.

For example:

{{ product }}

Inside this object, there are properties or attributes you can use with the dot notation:

{{ product.title }}

This renders the product title and updates dynamically based on the product URL.

And if you need help with the syntax, Use the Liquid Cheat Sheet—it’s been my best friend for years.

2. Tags

Tags are the logic of Liquid, allowing you to manipulate data and define conditions.

Example of control flow:

{% if product.available %}
    This product is in stock!
{% else %}
    Sorry, this product is sold out.
{% endif %}

Tags include iteration, variable assignment, capture, include, and comment tags. Each tag serves a specific purpose, helping you manage and organize your templates.

3. Filters

Filters modify the output of objects and variables, used with a pipe |. Example:

{{ product.price | money }}

Outputs: $20.00

Wrapping up

Liquid powers Shopify’s dynamic behavior, making themes highly customizable. If you’re curious about JSON, that’s a story for another day—it’s used for section settings.
