Pug vs doT.js: What are the differences?
Developers describe Pug as "Robust, elegant, feature rich template engine for nodejs". This project was formerly known as "Jade." Pug is a high performance template engine heavily influenced by Haml and implemented with JavaScript for Node.js and browsers. On the other hand, doT.js is detailed as "*A JavaScript template engine for Node.js *". It is a fastest and concise javascript template engine for Node.js and browsers. It was created in search of the fastest and concise JavaScript templating function with emphasis on performance under V8 and Node.js. It shows great performance for both Node.js and browsers.
Pug and doT.js can be primarily classified as "Templating Languages & Extensions" tools.
Pug and doT.js are both open source tools. It seems that Pug with 18.5K GitHub stars and 1.9K forks on GitHub has more adoption than doT.js with 4.3K GitHub stars and 947 GitHub forks.
