Handlebars is a popular JavaScript templating engine that extends the capabilities of Mustache templates. It allows developers to create semantic templates effectively with minimal code. Handlebars separates the generation of HTML from the rest of your JavaScript, making it easier to write clean, maintainable code. It provides helpers and partials for code reuse, conditional statements, and iterative structures, making it powerful for generating dynamic content. Handlebars compiles templates to JavaScript functions for optimal performance, making it suitable for both client-side and server-side rendering.
