Javascript template framework [closed]

Answer 1

Try JUST. It has similar syntax with EJS but more it powerful. It have very useful features like inheritance, partials and block redefenitions. It work on client and server (node.js) side.

Answer 2

I would try mustache. I've used it in the past and it's pretty good; fast and intuitive.

Answer 3

Mustache is pretty solid, but I found it to be a little too hardline about the "logicless template" thing. For example, it doesn't offer a lot of small niceties you'd hope for in a templating system, like an "else" statement. You have to do dumb stuff like this all the time:

{{#if foo}}
    <span>foo is set</span>
{{/if}
{{^if foo}}
    <span>foo is not set</span>
{{/if}}

Instead, I'd recommend Handlebars which is built on top of Mustache, but adds some nice features like custom helpers and better context-switching support.

Answer 4

I would try Distal.

You said your HTML is coded by a third party so you would want minimal changes during integration. With distal you add stuff to the existing HTML and don't need to move things around.

The syntax is HTML based so it's suitable for HTML only coders.
