If you use JQuery you have probably stumbled upon JQuery.tmpl(). This is a very nice JQuery plugin with whom one can easily turn json data into a html representation. As the name implies it uses templates to accomplish that, which give the plugin a high flexibility. I personally use it quite a lot lately.

In my opinion this is not a must-have because there are many good CMS around the web – both paid and free. It normally saves a lot of time and work if you can build upon an existing structure. So during the last few years i have done projects with various CMS. However for our most recent project at work we chose to use a CMS i had never used before – ModX.
