## What it is
template.js is a simple JavaScript template engine supporting parsing, compilation, and rendering with native JS syntax. It offers precompilation plugins for mainstream bundlers like webpack, vite, rollup, esbuild, and parcel, plus a CLI and editor plugins.

## Use cases
- render html templates from javascript data
- precompile templates with webpack or vite
- replace string concatenation with a template engine
- use a lightweight handlebars or ejs alternative
- set up a template project with a cli scaffolder
- highlight template syntax in vscode or sublime

## When to choose
- you want a simple, native-JS-syntax template engine
- you need precompilation integrated with your bundler
- you need both browser and Node support with TypeScript types
- you want JIT and AOT compilation modes

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured framework like React or Vue for UI rendering
- you prefer logic-less templates like Mustache or Handlebars
- you need server-side templating for a non-JavaScript stack
