Template Engine Benchmark

About the project

Open-source benchmarking tool to evaluate and compare the rendering performance of major JavaScript template engines (Pug, EJS, Handlebars, Liquid, Eta, Dust, Igodust). The project runs a series of tests on different scenarios (loops, conditions, HTML escaping) and automatically generates a results report in the README. The modular architecture makes it easy to add new template engines to the test suite.

The challenge

The challenge was to design a reliable and reproducible benchmark system, capable of fairly measuring the performance of engines with very different syntaxes and behaviors. The project also needed to be extensible so other developers could contribute by adding their own template engines. The project attracted community attention with 10 stars and external contributions.
