## What it is
pongo2 is a template engine for Go that implements Django's template syntax, including tags, filters, and macros. It is a pure-Go library with no dependencies, suitable for rendering HTML and other text templates in web applications.

## Use cases
- render html templates in a go web app
- use django template syntax in go
- generate emails from templates in go
- separate presentation logic from go code
- reuse template fragments with macros

## When to choose
- you want Django-compatible template syntax in a Go project
- you need a dependency-free, pure-Go templating library
- you are porting a Django project's templates to Go

## When to avoid
- you prefer Go's standard html/template package
- you need client-side JavaScript templating
- you want a logic-less template engine like Mustache

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: templating
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: django-syntax, template-engine, golang-library, html-templating
