## What it is
Maud is a compile-time HTML template engine for Rust, implemented as a procedural macro (html!) that generates specialized Rust code. Templates are type-checked by the compiler, fast at runtime, and require no separate template files.

## Use cases
- generate html from rust code
- type-safe html templating in rust
- server-side rendering for actix or rocket
- avoid separate template files in a rust web app
- fast html generation with minimal runtime overhead

## When to choose
- you want compile-time-checked templates with no runtime template parsing
- you prefer writing markup in Rust syntax with full access to Rust control flow
- you want simple deployment with templates linked into the binary

## When to avoid
- you need designer-editable template files or a designer-friendly syntax like Jinja or Handlebars
- you need context-aware escaping out of the box
- your team prefers hot-reloadable templates without recompilation

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: templating, web-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: rust
- tags: html-templates, proc-macro, compile-time, type-safe, actix, rocket
