Pug: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Pug, formerly known as Jade, is a high-performance template engine for Node.js and browsers. It simplifies HTML markup creation by using a clean and concise syntax that compiles into HTML. Pug supports features like template inheritance, mixins, loops, and conditionals, making it easy to create dynamic and reusable templates. It also allows for embedding JavaScript code directly within templates for more flexibility.
Compared to traditional HTML templating languages, Pug offers a more expressive and concise syntax, reducing the amount of code needed to create complex layouts. It is actively maintained and widely used in the Node.js ecosystem for generating HTML content efficiently.
