Basics about HTML to Jade Converter
What is Jade?
Jade (renamed to Pug after it’s version 2.0 released in 2015) is a templating language for Node.js and the browser. It is often used to generate HTML, but it can also generate XML or other types of documents. A templating language works by injecting/replacing variables in a template file with actual values, and transforms the template into an HTML file which is then rendered on client side.
Why Use Jade Instead of HTML?
Jade provides a more compact and easy to read syntax compared to standard HTML. It supports variables, mixins, and includes, which contribute to more efficient template development. One main advantage as a templating language is the ability to include variables and mixins, which results in templates that are easier to read, write, and maintain.
