What are the differences between Mustache.js and Handlebars.js?

Question

Major differences I\'ve seen are:

• Handlebars adds #if, #unless, #with, and #each
• Handlebars adds h

Answer 1

One more subtle difference is the treatment of falsy values in {{#property}}...{{/property}} blocks. Most mustache implementations will just obey JS falsiness here, not rendering the block if property is '' or '0'.

Handlebars will render the block for '' and 0, but not other falsy values. This can cause some trouble when migrating templates.
