Templating Engine for Node that's NOT Jade

Jade is indeed very neat, but I personally dislike the syntax and look of it. Yeah, being able to write just :

body
  h1 Hello
  p This is 
    b bold

Thats cool and all, but I prefer the look and feel of HTML/XML still. It was made to be human and machine readable and overall I think it's easier to glance at and understand.

Are there any templating engines that work more like:

<body>
  <h1>{title}</h1>
  <p>{content}</p>
</body>

Using the same Jade like concept of:

res.render('index', {
  title:pageTitle,
  content:pageContent
});
Solution

  • Something that specifically looks like that would probably be Mustache for Node.js. Check the demo.
