Fluid Templating Engine
Fluid is a modern, secure, and flexible templating engine primarily used in the TYPO3 CMS ecosystem for rendering dynamic content. It separates logic from presentation by using a custom syntax that allows developers to create reusable templates, partials, and layouts. It supports features like conditions, loops, and custom view helpers to build complex web interfaces efficiently.
Developers should learn Fluid when working with TYPO3 CMS projects, as it is the default templating engine for rendering frontend content and extensions. It is essential for creating maintainable and scalable templates in TYPO3, reducing code duplication and improving security by preventing direct PHP execution in templates. Use cases include building custom TYPO3 extensions, theming websites, and integrating dynamic data from the backend into HTML output.
