MJML is a markup language designed to reduce the pain of coding responsive emails. It abstracts away the complexity of responsive design by providing a simple syntax that translates into responsive HTML.
Responsive Email Design
MJML allows you to create responsive email designs easily. The above code creates a simple responsive email with a 'Hello World' text.
<mjml>
<mj-body>
<mj-section>
<mj-column>
<mj-text>Hello World</mj-text>
</mj-column>
</mj-section>
</mj-body>
</mjml>Custom Components
MJML provides a variety of built-in components like buttons, images, and text blocks. The above code demonstrates how to create a button that links to a URL.
<mjml>
<mj-body>
<mj-section>
<mj-column>
<mj-button href="https://www.example.com">Click Me</mj-button>
</mj-column>
</mj-section>
</mj-body>
</mjml>Conditional Rendering
MJML supports conditional rendering for different email clients. The above code shows how to include content specifically for Microsoft Outlook.
<mjml>
<mj-body>
<mj-raw>
<!--[if mso]>
<mj-section>
<mj-column>
<mj-text>Microsoft Outlook specific content</mj-text>
</mj-column>
</mj-section>
<![endif]-->
</mj-raw>
</mj-body>
</mjml>Handlebars is a popular templating engine that can be used to create dynamic HTML content, including emails. Unlike MJML, Handlebars does not provide built-in responsive design features, so you would need to handle the CSS and media queries yourself.
Pug (formerly Jade) is another templating engine that can be used to generate HTML. While it is powerful and flexible, it does not offer the same level of abstraction for responsive email design as MJML does.
Nunjucks is a templating engine inspired by Jinja2. It is highly extensible and can be used to generate HTML for emails. However, like Handlebars and Pug, it does not provide built-in support for responsive email design.
