## What it is
A reimplementation of Vue's template compiler written in Rust, distributed as a Rust library, CLI binary, Node.js napi package, and WebAssembly npm package. It aims to bring native-speed Vue template compilation with a browser playground for experimentation.

## Use cases
- compile vue templates faster in rust
- speed up vue build pipeline
- use vue template compiler from nodejs
- parse vue sfc templates in rust
- try vue template compilation in the browser
- replace javascript vue compiler with native binary

## When to choose
- You need faster Vue template compilation than the JavaScript compiler
- You want to integrate Vue template parsing into Rust or Node.js tooling
- You want to experiment with the compiler output in a wasm playground

## When to avoid
- You need the fully official, spec-complete Vue compiler for production builds
- You need a browser-only runtime compilation build
- You depend on features not yet on the project roadmap

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: compiler, parser, build-tool, cli
- domain: web-development, frontend, compilers, parsers, developer-tools
- platform: rust, wasm, cli, cross-platform
- tags: vue, template-compiler, napi, wasm, javascript-tooling, nodejs
