Dust.js is an asynchronous JavaScript templating engine maintained by LinkedIn that works in both the browser and on the server. It compiles templates to JavaScript and supports helpers and secure filters via companion packages.

Use cases

  • render html templates asynchronously in nodejs
  • client-side javascript templating
  • server-side templating for express apps
  • compile templates ahead of time with dustc
  • escape and filter template output securely

When to choose

  • you need async-friendly templating in JavaScript
  • you maintain an existing Dust-based codebase
  • you want templates that run in both browser and server

When to avoid

  • starting a new project - modern engines like Handlebars or EJS are more actively maintained
  • you need synchronous templating
  • you need React/Vue-style component-based rendering
