Handlebars.js vs Jsonnet: What are the differences?
What is Handlebars.js? Minimal Templating on Steroids. Handlebars.js is an extension to the Mustache templating language created by Chris Wanstrath. Handlebars.js and Mustache are both logicless templating languages that keep the view and the code separated like we all know they should be.
What is Jsonnet? A data templating language for app and tool developers. It is a data templating language for app and tool developers. It is a powerful DSL for elegant description of JSON data.
Handlebars.js and Jsonnet can be primarily classified as "Templating Languages & Extensions" tools.
Handlebars.js and Jsonnet are both open source tools. It seems that Handlebars.js with 14.8K GitHub stars and 1.88K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Jsonnet with 3.34K GitHub stars and 264 GitHub forks.
@All: I am searching for the best template engine for .NET. I started looking into several template engines, including the Dotliquid, Handlebars.js, Scriban, and Razorlight. I found handlebar a bit difficult to use when using the loops and condition because you need to register for helper first. DotLiquid and Scriban were easy to use and in Razorlight I did not find the example for loops.
Can you please suggest which template engine is best suited for the use of conditional/list and looping and why? Or if anybody could provide me a resource or link where I can compare which is best?
Thanks In Advance
I like Handlebars, it's very mature... some would say-- outdated.
Handlebars loops are done via {{#each myList}}. Read the docs! https://handlebarsjs.com/guide
Remember, don't put logic in your templates! Keep this layer simple. Sorry to hear you have to use dotNet.
