What are Liquid templates in Azure Logic Apps?

They're a templating language for transforming JSON payloads — loops, conditions, filters — baked into Logic Apps Standard for complex mappings without code.

DotLiquid uses sentence-case filters (Upcase vs upcase), .NET dates (yyyy vs %Y), case-insensitive sort, and wraps input in 'content'. Many match; silent ignores kill.
