EJS is an embedded JavaScript templating engine for Node.js and browsers that lets you generate HTML with plain JavaScript in `<% %>` tags. It integrates with Express as a view engine and supports includes, caching, custom delimiters, and client-side rendering.
Use cases
- render html pages from node.js server
- use a view engine with express
- generate html emails from templates
- compile templates for client-side rendering
- build server-rendered web pages with javascript templates
When to choose
- you want simple, plain-JavaScript templating without a custom DSL
- you use Express and need a compatible view engine
- you need templates that run in both Node and the browser
When to avoid
- you want automatic XSS protection with strict escaping by default
- you prefer logic-less templates like Handlebars
- you need component-based frontend rendering like React or Vue
