Quick Answer A template engine (EJS, Handlebars, Pug) renders HTML on the server by combining a template with data. Instead of sending JSON to a React frontend, you render HTML directly on the server and send it. Useful for traditional multi-page apps or email generation. Less common now that SPAs and APIs dominate.
