Pug: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Pug, formerly known as Jade, is a high-performance template engine for Node.js and browsers that simplifies HTML markup creation with its concise and elegant syntax. It allows developers to write clean and readable templates using indentation-based structure instead of cumbersome HTML tags. Pug supports features like template inheritance, mixins, and includes, making it easy to create reusable components and layouts.
Compared to traditional HTML templating languages, Pug offers better code organization and maintainability. It is actively maintained and widely used in the Node.js ecosystem for generating dynamic HTML content efficiently.
