Set

Set is an unobtrusive and DRY template engine for Node.js and browsers.

Why Set?

It is unobtrusive. Your templates are 100% valid HTML 5.
It is simple. No confusing, error‐prone mapping code to write.
It is visual. Design in the browser or your favourite visual editor. Use mock data in your templates.
It is DRY. Use the same template on server and on client.
