Marko Templating

Marko is a modern, fast template language for server-side rendering HTML. Created by eBay, it combines the simplicity of template syntax with the power of JavaScript logic. You write .marko files mixing HTML, JavaScript expressions, control flow (if/for), and component composition. Marko compiles templates to optimized JavaScript that renders efficiently. Unlike traditional templating (EJS, Handlebars), Marko focuses on performance: streaming rendering (send HTML to browser while still rendering), optimized compilation, and small runtime footprint. It's particularly good for large-scale, content-heavy applications like e-commerce.
