I tried embedded.js except that it hung trying to load my template from the server. Why? Because I was already in an Ajax call (a Drag n’ Drop scriptaculous function, actually).

I don’t like TrimPath’s use of Velocity-like syntax, and that bit failed to compile in a JSP on a default Jetty instance because it’s too much like JSTL.

So I rolled my own that’s pure JSP-like but without the Ajax requirement.

Better JavaScript Templates

Check out embeddedjs.com for a very complete solution.

It has rails like view helpers.

It can include JS lint and provide line numbers/error handling.

It can load, process and cache template files.

Almost all functionality can be encapsulated in one line.

Very simple one - under 100 lines for the whole engine - jMVC

Another JavaScript template engine is “Ajax Pages” (http://ajax-pages.sourceforge.net/). It has the advantage of being very simple and “to the point”.
