Emblem.js is an indentation-based templating language that compiles to Handlebars.js templates, primarily targeting Ember.js applications. Its syntax resembles the Slim templating language, offering a more concise alternative to writing Handlebars by hand.

Use cases

• write Ember.js templates with a concise indented syntax
• compile Slim-like syntax to Handlebars templates
• reduce boilerplate in Handlebars template files
• integrate a templating language into Ember-CLI builds
• convert indentation-based markup into standard Handlebars output

When to choose

• you maintain an Ember.js app and prefer Slim-style indentation over verbose Handlebars
• you want a concise template syntax that still prints standard Handlebars
• you need compatibility with any Handlebars version via template printing

When to avoid

• you use vanilla Handlebars without Ember (support was dropped in 0.5.0)
• your project uses modern Ember with Glimmer components and Octane syntax
• you need an actively developed templating solution with recent updates
