Resembles handlebars.js. Can someone point out the difference?

• tjholowaychuk 15y ago
  handlebars is based on mustache
  • devinus 15y ago
    So is Hogan, apparently.
    • Void_ 15y ago
      Not based, it just does the same thing.

        Actually, “hogan.js is a compiler for the Mustache templating language” –from https://github.com/twitter/hogan.js https://github.com/twitter/hogan.js
        • Void_ 15y ago
          It is compiler for Mustache, it does the same thing, it passes the same tests, but they didn't take Mustache code and improve it -- which is in my opinion what being based on means, they instead started from scratch and wrote a brand new parser.

  Right now Hogan seems to be slower and appears to have less features than Handlebars: http://jsperf.com/t-bench2/6 http://jsperf.com/t-bench2/6

    I may be misunderstanding this, but that benchmark appears to be based on an in-browser compilation, while Hogan's advantage is the ability to precompile templates.
    • devinus 15y ago
      Handlebars is also capable of precompiling AFAIK.

      The compile happens in the setup of the benchmark. So the actual benchmark is testing the rendering speed of the compiled templates.

    Couple hours later, Hogan is faster than Handlebars: http://jsperf.com/t-bench2/7 http://jsperf.com/t-bench2/7
