In order to bridge the gap between the back end request data, and the front end views, we will make use of what is called a templating engine, to extend regular HTML, and add components like logic and iterative constructs. For GPL, we shall stick to the tried and tested EJS. Although other templating engines exist, they are either too slow (Pug aka Jade), or provide poor support for logical constructs (HBS).
