A 1KB lightweight JavaScript templating engine with zero dependencies that compiles templates into fast JavaScript functions. It works in all web browsers and server-side environments like Node.js, with module loader support for RequireJS and webpack.

Use cases

• render html templates from data in the browser
• lightweight client-side templating without a big framework
• use the same templates on node.js server and browser client
• interpolate data into html with escaping
• loop over arrays and evaluate expressions inside templates
• cache and reuse compiled template functions

When to choose

• you need a tiny, dependency-free templating engine under 1KB
• you want fast compiled templates with a simple tmpl() api
• you need templates that work in both browsers and node.js
• you prefer javascript syntax inside templates rather than a custom dsl

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured framework with components and reactive state
• you want sandboxed or logic-less templating like mustache/handlebars
• you need automatic html escaping everywhere without opt-in encoding
• the project appears to be in maintenance mode with infrequent releases
