## What it is
Askama is a Rust template library providing type-safe, compiled Jinja-like templates. Templates are parsed and compiled into Rust code at build time, catching errors before runtime.

## Use cases
- render html pages in a rust web app
- type-safe jinja2-style templates for rust
- compile templates at build time to catch errors
- generate html emails from templates
- serve server-rendered pages with actix or axum

## When to choose
- you want Jinja2-like syntax with compile-time type checking in Rust
- you need fast template rendering with no runtime parsing
- you are building server-rendered web applications in Rust

## When to avoid
- you need runtime-editable templates loaded dynamically
- you want a non-Rust templating ecosystem or hot-reloading of templates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: templating
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: jinja2, compile-time-templates, type-safe, custom-derive, html
