FAQ

Does it only work with HTML?​

It works with HTML, but you can also use it to generate templates of any language, like Markdown.

How big is Eta?​

Eta is about 2KB gzipped, which is quite lightweight for a template engine library.

Why should I use Eta instead of another template engine like Handlebars or Pug?​

Eta has a number of features that set it apart from the competition:

  • It's significantly faster than most templating engines
  • It supports plugins
  • It has great file handling
  • It's incredibly lightweight: in comparison: the full version only weighs about 2 KB gzipped, compared to Pug's 237 KB and Handlebars' 21.5 KB
  • It works with other languages than HTML
  • It's not whitespace sensitive
