What is the preferred template library for jQuery?

Question

I'm getting to a stage where I need to build up HTML client side based on JSON responses from the server. Bugger doing this manually.

I'm already using jQuery on the app. I had a quick look for jQuery templates but the docs tell me it's deprecated, awaiting a better plugin.

This question asks pretty much the same thing, but the question is close to 3 years old now, I'm assuming plenty could have changed by now.

Boris Moore, the same guy who created jQuery Templates is currently working on a project which is pretty much like jQuery-templates-in-steroids. He explains it here.

In short, if jQuery Templates is the best engine around, you can give jsViews and jsRender a try.

Here's another presentation that summarizes it all very nicely.

You may checkout micro templating from John Resig.

I've been using jTemplates by many years and really like how its simple yet powerful. Unfortunatelly, it isn't updated anymore and I think its deprecated too.
