Template Engines

Here I’m investigating Rust Template Engines.

Template engines reference

1. Handlebars

Simple, optimized, not as featureful as others. Port of the js library. Most downloads.

2. Tera (my pick)

Documentation

Most features. It isn’t a port, it’s autonomous. Second in downloads behind handlebars.

Good Documentation

Examples:

• math
• statements (for-loops, if…)
• comparisons
• comments
• filters (to manipulate data from inside the template)

I decided to go with this one because I need a template system as expressive as possible.

3. Liquid

Less production ready, ruby port.
