Creating a Dynamic Page

Unlike other server frameworks, choosing Node does not implicitly choose the templating engine you’ll use for creating pages. There existed several templating engines for JavaScript when Node was created, and that number has only grown since. Thanks to Node, we now have a large number of server-side-only engines as well. Almost every JavaScript library of sufficient size offers a template engine, Underscore probably being the smallest, and there are many standalone options. Node frameworks also tend to have a default. Express uses Jade out of the box, for instance. It doesn’t really matter which you choose, as long as it meets your needs and is comfortable for you.
