Revision 254 of this benchmark created by Lance Pollard on


Description

A brief comparison of some JavaScript templating engines on a short template: 6 header tags, and 10 list items.

Added doT, doU and jQote2 to benchmarks.

Added "client: true" to jade. And add recent commit where this is possible.
