This repo tries to assess Rust template engine performance. Following the download ratings from crates.io, these nine projects are assessed:
- write!: the std library
write!macro - Handlebars: Handlebars templating implemented in Rust
- Tera: template engine based on Jinja2/Django templates
- Liquid: the liquid templating language for Rust
- Askama: type-safe, compiled Jinja-like templates for Rust
- horrorshow: a templating library written in rust macros
- ructe: Rust Compiled Templates, efficient type-safe web page templates
- fomat: alternative syntax for print/write/format-like macros with a small templating language
- markup: A blazing fast, type-safe template engine for Rust.
