art-template is a high-performance JavaScript templating engine for Node.js and the browser, using scope pre-declaration to achieve near-limit rendering speed. It integrates with Express, Koa, and Webpack, supports template inheritance, and offers friendly debugging with line-accurate error reporting.
Use cases
- render html templates in an express app
- fast server-side templating in nodejs
- compile templates with webpack
- lightweight client-side template engine for the browser
- template inheritance and partials in javascript
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy project already using art-template
- you need a tiny 6KB browser template engine and accept unmaintained status
When to avoid
- starting a new project - it is officially unmaintained since July 2026 with no security patches
- production systems requiring ongoing bug fixes or security updates
