## What it is
mustache.go is a Go implementation of the Mustache template language, offering fast parsing into a tree structure for efficient repeated rendering. It supports HTML escaping rules, layouts, and rendering from strings or files.

## Use cases
- render mustache templates in go
- generate html pages from templates
- use layout wrappers for website templates
- render templates faster than go's native text/template
- compile a template once and render it many times

## When to choose
- you want logicless mustache syntax in a Go project
- you need layout/wrapper template support
- you render the same template repeatedly and need fast execution

## When to avoid
- you need advanced features like template inheritance or custom functions
- you prefer Go's standard library html/template for auto-escaping security guarantees
- you need an actively developed library with modern Go idioms

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: templating
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: mustache, template-engine, html-templating, logicless-templates
