There are different kinds of web templates: server-side web templates (in which the template is rendered on the server-side), client-side web templates (where client-side applications render the template), or hybrid web templates.

There are a couple of templating engines in Rust. We can find templating engines for web development (such as Handlebars, Tera, Askama, or Liquid) at https://crates.io or https:/lib.rs.

The Rocket web framework has built-in support for templating in the form of the rocket_dyn_templates crate. Currently, the crate only supports two engines: Handlebars and Tera. In this book, we are going to use Tera as the template engine to simplify the development, but feel free to try the Handlebars engine as well.
