Marko is an eBay open source HTML-based templating engine that can be used to render templates on the server (Node.js) or in the web browser. It is [extremely fast](https://github.com/marko-js/templating-benchmarks) and lightweight (~3.75KB gzipped) while also supporting streaming and asynchronous rendering. Developers can extend the HTML grammar with custom tags and custom attributes to introduce new and reusable building blocks. The Marko compiler produces Node.js-compatible JavaScript modules that are [easy to read](https://gist.github.com/patrick-steele-idem/0514b480219d1c9ed8d4), understand and debug. In contrast to other templating engines, Marko avoids [evil global variables](http://archive.oreilly.com/pub/a/javascript/excerpts/javascript-good-parts/awful-parts.html) and global helpers.

Marko was founded on the philosophy that an HTML-based templating language is more natural and intuitive for generating HTML. Because the Marko compiler understands the structure of the HTML document, the directives in template files are less obtrusive and more powerful. Marko also retains the full power and flexibility of JavaScript by allowing JavaScript expressions inside templates.
