EJS (Embedded JavaScript) is a simple templating language that lets you generate HTML markup with plain JavaScript. It allows you to embed JavaScript code within your HTML templates, making it easy to create dynamic content. EJS supports features like control flow, includes, and template inheritance, making it versatile for building web applications.
Compared to other templating engines like Handlebars or Pug, EJS offers a familiar syntax similar to plain HTML, which can be beneficial for developers transitioning from static HTML files to dynamic templates. EJS is actively maintained and widely used in Node.js applications for server-side rendering.
