You can pass templates as HTML strings without cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, without additional libraries, and without a necessary build step. If you’re already using JSX, you can also return JSX templates. Hogan.js templates are now deprecated and will be removed in the next major. Read more about templating in InstantSearch.js.
