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.
