EJS (Embedded JavaScript templates) is a simple templating language that lets you generate HTML markup with plain JavaScript. It offers control structures, template inclusion, and custom delimiters. Widely used in Node.js web applications for dynamic content generation, rendering server-side views, and crafting HTML emails. EJS supports client-side templating in browsers as well. Its simplicity and flexibility make it a popular choice for developers wanting a lightweight templating solution.
EJS releases were most frequent in early years, especially in 2011 and 2015. The releases became sparse after 2015. From 2016 to 2025, there was at most two releases per year, and for many years there were no releases at all.
EJS downloads show a general increase from March 2024 to July 2025, peaking at over 107 million. After July 2025, downloads have decreased. September 2025 downloads are significantly lower, likely due to incomplete data for the month.
