Why do i like EJS?
Posted
Warning: I am not a pro at EJS i barely know how to use it but it's pretty straight forward if you know Javascript/NodeJS.
What is EJS: Well their website says it's embedded Javascript templating but from what i understand you can mix Javascript code with html to make cool things in it without using something like jquery.
1. You don't have to learn the syntax.
EJS is basically the HTML syntax with some EJS stuff. The EJS syntax is <% stuff here %> in which you can put some NodeJS code.
2. It is easy to use.
With Node and Express, you just need to do npm install ejs then it's installed. then you wanna do app.set('view engine', 'ejs'). Your ejs needs to be in a folder called views but i won't explain everything you can read the docs of express and ejs
3. Not vulnerable to XSS (al least with render function)
When you use the render function, it expects to get a string, not html code so it won't do XSS
