## What it is
quicktemplate is a fast template engine for Go that compiles templates into Go code, catching most errors at compile time. It claims up to 20x faster rendering than html/template with zero memory allocations in hot paths.

## Use cases
- render html pages fast in go
- compile templates into a go binary
- avoid template runtime errors in production
- generate text output with zero allocations
- template inheritance in go
- replace html/template for performance

## When to choose
- you need maximum template rendering speed in Go
- you want template errors caught at compile time
- templates can be baked into a single binary
- you want Go-like syntax instead of a new template language

## When to avoid
- you need to update templates on the fly in production
- you want strict separation of logic and markup
- you need a simple dynamically reloaded template engine (use fasttemplate)

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: templating, web-framework
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: go, windows, cross-platform
- tags: template-engine, compiled-templates, zero-allocation, performance, html-templates, linux, macos
