A templating library is a set of tools used to create and manage HTML templates for front-end development. Templating libraries allow developers to quickly create dynamic webpages with minimal effort. They provide a way to separate the presentation layer from the application logic, making it easier to maintain and update code. Templating libraries can be used in conjunction with other frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue.js for more complex applications. By using templating libraries, developers can easily create reusable components that are easy to maintain and update over time.
