## What it is
The original official jQuery Templates plugin, which renders HTML from templates with binding expressions applied to JavaScript data objects or arrays. It is no longer in active development and has been superseded by JsRender.

## Use cases
- render html from templates with jquery
- bind  data to html templates
- client-side templating in legacy jquery apps
- render arrays of data into dom lists
- maintain an old codebase using $.tmpl

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy jQuery 1.x codebase that already uses $.tmpl
- you need the historical beta API for compatibility

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use JsRender or a modern templating library
- you need maintained software or documentation
- you use modern jQuery versions or frameworks

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: templating, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: jquery-plugin, html-templates, deprecated, data-binding, jquery
