HTML documents

The World Wide Web is seen as the fastest way to reach vast numbers of people. JADE supports deployment of JADE applications to the web through its HTML documents feature. These work very similarly to ASP.NET, where developers create templates of HTML pages and leave parts in the template for the program to fill in.


The advantages of using HTML documents are:
• Allows the application to reach a worldwide audience.

The disadvantages are:
• When JADE applications use HTML documents, they are no longer using the same technology from end to end. Checking at the front end of the system may be done through JavaScript for example.
• Offloading some of the processing to front-end clients is no longer as easy or secure.
