EJS

EJS (Embedded JavaScript) is a simple templating language that lets you generate HTML markup with plain JavaScript. It allows embedding JavaScript code directly within HTML templates using special tags like <% %> for logic and <%= %> for output. It's commonly used in Node.js applications to dynamically render web pages on the server-side.

Also known as: Embedded JavaScript, Ejs, ejs, EJS Templates, Embedded JS

Why learn EJS?

Developers should learn EJS when building server-rendered web applications with Node.js, as it provides an easy way to create dynamic HTML content without complex syntax. It's particularly useful for projects that require simple templating with minimal learning curve, such as small to medium-sized web apps, prototypes, or when integrating with Express.js for server-side rendering.
