Mustache is the canonical Ruby implementation of the logic-less Mustache template language, separating markup templates from Ruby view classes. It renders HTML (or any text) by referencing methods on a view class, with no application logic allowed in templates.

Use cases

• render html templates in ruby without embedding logic
• replace erb or haml views with logic-less templates
• separate presentation from application logic in a ruby web app
• generate emails or documents from templates in ruby
• test view logic independently of markup

When to choose

• you want strict separation of markup and logic in a Ruby project
• you need a simple, framework-agnostic templating gem
• you prefer view classes over inline Ruby in templates

When to avoid

• you need conditional logic, filters, or macros inside templates
• you want a full-featured engine like ERB, Haml, or Liquid
• you are not working in Ruby (use a Mustache implementation for your language instead)
