+#summary What is JsTemplate?
+
+=What is JsTemplate?=
+JsTemplate (or "Jst" for short) is a javascript library that provides
client-side processing and reprocessing of HTML templates. As all template
systems do, Jst separates data from its presentation in HTML. Two features
set Jst apart from other template systems, however: its processing of
templates on the client-side using javascript, and its ability to update
the output of a previously processed template to reflect changes in the
data. These features make it well suited for use in AJAX applications,
which aim to give immediate feedback on the client-side.
+
+If you are a software engineer working on a web application that will use
javascript to update the display of data in the browser, Jst might make
your job easier. If, for example, you are building an email application
that will periodically download new message information, you may want to
update the list of messages displayed without getting a new version of the
page from the server. While a server-side templating system such as PHP
would require you to assemble a new representation of the data on the
server, Jst allows you to update the display to reflect new data without
having to download any new formatting information.
