Handlebars.Net is a .NET implementation of the Handlebars.js templating engine, written in C#. It compiles Handlebars/Mustache templates directly to IL bytecode rather than running a JavaScript engine, mimicking the JS library's API.

Use cases

• render handlebars templates in a .NET application
• use mustache-style logicless templating in C#
• generate HTML emails from templates in dotnet
• compile handlebars templates to IL for fast rendering
• share handlebars templates between node and .NET services

When to choose

• you need Handlebars.js-compatible templating in .NET without a JavaScript runtime
• you want high-performance template compilation to IL bytecode
• you prefer logicless Mustache/Handlebars syntax to keep views and code separated

When to avoid

• you need a full JavaScript-based Handlebars runtime with exact JS ecosystem behavior
• your project is not on the .NET platform
• you need a templating language with embedded logic rather than logicless templates
