if you use Python
-
if you do not need sophisticated linguistic features likes anaphora, verbs, words and ajectives agreements
-
if you are not afraid of maintaining texts templates as Python code
RosaeNLG can be better:
-
if you want more readable templates
-
if your NLG project requires linguistic resources
-
if you use Javascript or TypeScript
-
if you wish to make browser side rendering
