Question

I am building an app – front end = backbone , server = node.js.
In order to improve performance, I am thinking on rendering first page from node/express server, using some templating engine. On client I want to do all iterations via ajax requests (receiving json) and, again, using template to render the data (actually it is the same template).
Is there a way to reuse the same template on client and server? It will be easier to maintain / cache. The first load of the template on the server has other advantages like server routing + option to determind which template to return according to user agent.
Thanks!!

You can use ECT template engine. ECT designed for use on client and server without any modifications in templates and code. Also ECT most fastest template engine for now.
