EJS
What is the “E” for? “Embedded?” Could be. How about “Effective,” “Elegant,” or just “Easy”? EJS is a simple templating language that lets you generate HTML markup with plain JavaScript. No religiousness about how to organize things. No reinvention of iteration and control-flow. It’s just plain JavaScript.
