Aura.View 2.0.0-beta1 is a reduced implementation of the v1 View package. ...

The templates can still be include files, but (and this is new) they can also be closures. This means that you can completely avoid the file system for templates if you like. ...

There are no longer any escapers or helpers included, although the package does include a bare-bones HelperRegistry so you can add your own callables as helpers.

...

Aura.Html 2.0.0-beta1 contains a collection of helpers extracted from the v1 Aura.View package. These helpers are completely standalone and are not dependent on any particular view system: instantiate a HelperLocator from the Aura.Html package and you can use the helpers from any PHP code. ...

All of the HTML5 input types are supported. This makes building form elements very easy, especially since the data structure for each element is just an array. Any library that can generate the recognized array structure can be used to feed the form input helpers. ...

In addition, [Aura.Html] includes a powerful escaping mechanism derived from ZendEscaper and modified for conceptual integrity with the rest of Aura. The Aura.Html Escaper exposes static methods to make escaping as non-verbose as possible.
