FAQ

Questions Handlebars.js owners ask.

  • 01

    Why use Handlebars instead of LLM prompting?

    LLMs hallucinate formatting and often "summarize" large HTML templates by accident. Handlebars is 100% deterministic and preserves every single byte.

  • 02

    Can it loop over arrays?

    Yes, just pass a JSON array in your data payload and use standard {{#each}} syntax in the template.

  • 03

    Does it sanitize the output?

    Yes, Handlebars automatically HTML-escapes values unless you specifically use the {{{ triple-stash syntax.
