# Askama (Rust Templating) > _Captured 2026-07-10 (askama 0.16.0). To update: re-verify against the askama book + docs.rs/askama, then diff for changes._ Askama is a compile-time, Jinja-like template engine for Rust. Templates are parsed at build time and generate type-checked Rust code. This skill targets the **unified askama crate, version 0.16.x** (MSRV 1.88, raised in 0.15.0 from 1.83; was 1.81 through 0.13.x, then 1.83 in 0.14.0). Anything older than 0.13 wired web frameworks through dedicated `askama_*` crates that no longer exist; see the breaking-changes section if migrating. > Quick history: Askama was forked into `rinja` in 2024, then the two projects re-unified as `askama` in early 2025. If the user mentions `rinja` or `rinja_axum`, those are deprecated. Migrate to `askama` / `askama_web`. --- ## 1. Current State & Setup ### Cargo.toml ```toml [dependencies] askama = "0.16" # For web frameworks, ADD askama_web separately (see §3): askama_web = { version = "0.16", features = ["axum-0.8"] } ``` Do not depend on `askama_axum`, `askama_actix`, `askama_warp`, or `askama_rocket` (deprecated when 0.13 unified them), nor `askama_gotham` / `askama_tide` (never deprecated; just abandoned since 2023 on askama ^0.12). All dead now. There is no `askama_actix_web` crate. ### Minimal Example `templates/hello.html`: ``` Hello, {{ name }}! ``` ```rust use askama::Template; #[derive(Template)] #[template(path = "hello.html")] struct HelloTemplate<'a> { name: &'a str } H...
