What's the difference in jquery.tmpl and jquery.tmplPlus?

Question

I'm thinking of starting to use the jQuery template engine in my projects.

What is the difference in these two? Also, is it a good time to start using tmpl since it's still beta?

Answer 1

jquery.tmpl has been deprecated and will not be developed in the present form. The jQuery UI team has taken control over the templating project and will start from scratch again.

Unfortunately I'm relying on the version of jquery.tmpl that is out in the wild now. Instead of changing templating library twice, I'm waiting for the new template library to come out of the jQuery UI team.
