Neon compiles your HTML templates into native Go code, much like valyala/QuickTemplate.
However, unlike QuickTemplate, Neon does its own typechecking so you don't have to annotate your templates with type information. Coupled with changes to the syntax and style of templates, Neon templates are much more ergonomic to use compared to QuickTemplate templates.
- Automatic type inference
- HTML string escaping by default
- Much faster than standard library HTML templating
go install github.com/codemicro/go-neon/neontc@latest
Now you've got neontc installed, check out the basic example to get started.
The following are the benchmark results from Neon, QuickTemplate and html/template, all generating the same output.
QuickTemplate is more optimised than Neon, but Neon is still many times faster than the standard library templating tools.
