MRML

Introduction

This project is a reimplementation of the nice MJML markup language in Rust.

How to use it in the cli

# installing mrml-cli
cargo install mrml-cli
# using it 
mrml-cli path/to/template.mjml validate
mrml-cli path/to/template.mjml render
mrml-cli path/to/template.mjml format-json --pretty
mrml-cli path/to/template.json format-mjml --pretty
# getting some help
mrml-cli --help

How to use it in my code

use mrml;

fn main() {
    let root = mrml::parse("<mjml><mj-body></mj-body></mjml>").expect("parse template");
    let opts = mrml::prelude::render::Options::default();
    match root.render(&opts) {
        Ok(content) => println!("{}", content),
        Err(_) => println!("couldn't render mjml template"),
    };
}

Why?

• A Node server rendering a mjml template takes around 20Mo of RAM at startup and 130Mo under stress test. In Rust, less than 1.7Mo at startup and a bit less that 3Mo under stress test. The Rust version can also handle 2 times more requests per seconds. You can run the bench by doing bash script/run-bench.sh.
• The JS implementation cannot be run in the browser. In Rust (and Wasm), you can.

Performance

With the same linux amd64 machine, to render the amario template

• Node: 62.803ms
• Rust: 13.180ms

To reproduce those results:

• Node, in example/mjml-bench run npm start -- ../../resources/template-amario.mjml
• Rust, run cargo bench amario
