slm VS template-benchmarks-rs

Bear in mind that, even in JavaScript, where JSX is a thing, there exist things like Slm which do templating like this:

Personally, I'd recommend Maud if you don't need something with runtime reloading. Not only is it much faster, it implements a template language that is effectively the Rust-syntax equivalent to Slim or Haml using a procedural macro, so you get compile-time verification that your HTML output is well-formed.

For templating, Maud is fast, gives compile-time well-formedness guarantees, and outputs minified HTML by default as a side-effect of it being based on Rust macros. (It's of a similar design philosophy to Slim and Haml)

Any recommendations for rust template engines? I'd like something that can easily render labeled fragments of a template instead of requiring me to split a page into a dozen little files. Kinda like inline {{block}} definitions in Go's html/template. Speed is also nice.

From template-benchmark-rs [0] I found sailfish [1] (fast, but no fragments(?)). render-rs [2] and syn-rsx [3] (2022) both let you write html in rust macros which is cool (maybe that can substitute for fragments?). Then there's gtmpl-rust [4] which is just Go templates reimplemented in rust.

I've been maintaining several benchmark repos based off of template-benchmarks-rs. I've noticed there are several other benchmark repos that are hard to know about.

I'm tempted to collect all of these benchmark repos into a github org to make them easier to find. So far I know of parser, md, argparse, and template languages.

Simple and straightforward. The only thing I'd change personally is using sailfish over markup. Seems to be the fastest templating engine?

As I said in my other post, runtime performance wasn't a concern for me except to catch anything egregious, like mini_markdown hanging. If people want to expand on this with different representative cases and criterion like template-benchmarks-rs, they are welcome to!

That's why I use Sailfish for server-side templating in my Rust web projects. It's ridiculously fast.

As for templating, here's a benchmark that can double as a list of candidates to choose from... though, again, Rust stuff tends to be fast, so don't assume that the slowest templating engine on a Rust-vs-Rust benchmark is going to be slow.

Yeah. You're much better off worrying about template rendering performance or database query optimization than the framework itself.
