Pug
A high-performance, whitespace-sensitive template engine for Node.js and browsers, influenced by Haml.
What is Pug?
Pug is a high-performance template engine for Node.js and browsers that uses a whitespace-sensitive syntax to generate HTML. It allows developers to write cleaner, more maintainable templates by eliminating closing tags and leveraging JavaScript for logic. Originally known as Jade, it solves the problem of verbose HTML markup while providing powerful features like inheritance, mixins, and filters.
Node.js developers building server-rendered web applications, full-stack JavaScript engineers, and frontend developers who need a concise templating language for dynamic HTML generation.
Developers choose Pug for its elegant, minimal syntax that reduces boilerplate, its strong performance due to compilation to JavaScript, and its flexibility with full JavaScript support within templates. It's a mature, feature-rich alternative to traditional HTML templating.
