### Concept of Environments
In Liquid, a "Environment" is a scoped environment that encapsulates custom tags, filters, and other configurations. This allows you to define and isolate different sets of functionality for different contexts, avoiding global overrides that can lead to conflicts and unexpected behavior.
By using environments, you can:
1. **Encapsulate Logic**: Keep the logic for different parts of your application separate.
2. **Avoid Conflicts**: Prevent custom tags and filters from clashing with each other.
3. **Improve Maintainability**: Make it easier to manage and understand the scope of customizations.
4. **Enhance Security**: Limit the availability of certain tags and filters to specific contexts.
We encourage the use of Environments over globally overriding things because it promotes better software design principles such as modularity, encapsulation, and separation of concerns.
Here's an example of how you can define and use Environments in Liquid:
```ruby
user_environment = Liquid::Environment.build do |environment|
environment.register_tag("renderobj", RenderObjTag)
end
Liquid::Template.parse(<<~LIQUID, environment: user_environment)
{% renderobj src: "path/to/model.obj" %}
LIQUID
```
In this example, `RenderObjTag` is a custom tag that is only available within the `user_environment`.
Similarly, you can define another environment for a different context, such as email templates:
```ruby
email_environment = Liquid::Environment.build do |environment|
environment.register_tag("unsubscribe_footer", UnsubscribeFooter)
end
Liquid::Template.parse(<<~LIQUID, environment: email_environment)
{% unsubscribe_footer %}
LIQUID
```
By using Environments, you ensure that custom tags and filters are only available in the contexts where they are needed, making your Liquid templates more robust and easier to manage.
### Error Modes
Setting the error mode of Liquid lets you specify how strictly you want your templates to be interpreted.

when templates are invalid. You can enable this new parser like this:
```ruby
Liquid::Template.error_mode = :strict # Raises a SyntaxError when invalid syntax is used
Liquid::Template.error_mode = :warn # Adds strict errors to template.errors but continues as normal
Liquid::Template.error_mode = :lax # The default mode, accepts almost anything.
Liquid::Environment.default.error_mode = :strict
Liquid::Environment.default.error_mode = :strict # Raises a SyntaxError when invalid syntax is used
Liquid::Environment.default.error_mode = :warn # Adds strict errors to template.errors but continues as normal
Liquid::Environment.default.error_mode = :lax # The default mode, accepts almost anything.
```
If you want to set the error mode only on specific templates you can pass `:error_mode` as an option to `parse`:
