+=head0 Viewing your Data
+
+Obviously, if you're building a web application, you need to be able to view your data in a web browser. Preferably, the view should include a nice design and graphics to make the data or content of your web application easy to see and understand.
+
+In Jifty, you view your data by building a dispatcher and creating templates for each kind of view. Jifty provides two different mechanisms for generating templates.
+
+=over
+
+=item Mason
+
+This is the mechanism that Jifty has had from the beginning and is one that many Perl web developers may already be familiar with.
+
+=item Template::Declare
+
+This is a system that was designed from the ground up to fit in with the declarative structure of many of Jifty's other features. This has some additional benefits over Mason and is generally considered the preferred templating tool.
+
+=back
+
+Both templating systems are here to stay, so you can use both and in most ways you can use them interchangeably (though, you will need to be aware of some caveats if you do use both). In the future, Jifty may also add additional templating systems.
