Announcing Marko v3: From HTML to HTML-JS

Marko is one of the fastest, lightest, and most powerful HTML templating engines for Node.js and the browser, and we are very pleased to see a healthy and growing community. Marko has been downloaded over 100k times in the first few months of 2016, and the project has a very active Gitter chat room. We are excited to announce some huge improvements to the Marko templating engine as part of the v3 release.

Marko v3 introduces a new HTML-JS syntax and a new parser that makes Marko more intuitive. Marko’s clean, HTML-based syntax has been a strength, but over time it became clear that using a strict HTML parser was actually putting unnecessary constraints on the Marko language that negatively impacted code readability and usability. The new HTML-JS syntax that ships with Marko v3 breaks away from the limitations associated with the standard HTML syntax while still maintaining the look and feel of HTML.
