The jQuery templates plugin enables you to use jQuery and HTML as a template engine. Why would you want to use JavaScript as a template engine you might ask? One of the primary reasons is to perform easy token replacements inside the DOM when you receive data back from an AJAX call. Typically (especially when using frameworks like jQuery) you won’t want to put your html inside a JS file, but rather use the code to manipulate the html already inside the DOM. The jQuery templates function allows you to apply template token replacements to any section of markup in the DOM, and even clone templates when you have an array of new values.
