mstch VS bustache

Here's what I did: - I bought a theme that I liked, and used mstch as template engine (matched the theme's template format) - Imported rapidjson for parsing JSON, and used mstch for generating JSON (the JSON I generate is simple enough that I can do this) - Wrote an HTTP handler class for each page that handles the GET and POST requests, generating HTML or JSON depending on the request

How does this compare to https://github.com/no1msd/mstch ? I see they both rely on c++11 and mstch is compliant with the lambda module . If this is the same P. Dimov who wrote the “simple c++11 meta programming” series of articles I can’t wait to check the code. On the other hand I appreciate the simplicity of mstch.

I like to use a template engine for rendering html. This way I could use my favourite html editor and add the information from c++ to it. There are some alternatives but I would recommend either mustache or inja. While I used mustache successfully in many projects inja has a more modern feel to it

You can generate an html page from scracth for sure, but you can also use a templating 'language' such as {{mustache}} which has a C++ implementation : https://github.com/no1msd/mstch

Additionally, why would I care about this specific library implementation, when there are others like bustache which are a lot more popular (0 stars vs 63) and which have much more features, like the optional parts of the Mustache spec? The star count seems petty, but I guess that a library with 0 stars has not been out there for long and had actual real world usage.
