JsRender Fundamentals
Learn how to build fast, robust, and maintainable Web applications with JavaScript, jQuery and JsRender: the successor to jQuery Templates.
What you'll learn
Super fast rendering, code-less tag syntax, and no DOM nor jQuery dependency. That’s JsRender. JsRender (the successor to jQuery Templates) is a JavaScript library that allows you to define a boilerplate structure once and reuse it to generate content dynamically. Learn how JsRender brings a new templating library to HTML5 development that has a code-less tag syntax, high performance, no dependency on jQuery nor a DOM, supports creating custom functions, and uses pure string based rendering.
