Twig

Twig is a modern, secure, and flexible template engine for PHP, designed to separate presentation logic from business logic in web applications. It provides a clean syntax with features like template inheritance, filters, and functions, making it easier to write and maintain HTML templates. Twig is widely used in PHP frameworks like Symfony and Drupal for rendering dynamic content.

Also known as: Twig Template Engine, Twig PHP, Twig Templating, Twig Engine, Twig Templates

Why learn Twig?

Developers should learn Twig when building PHP-based web applications that require clean, maintainable templates with features like inheritance and security. It is particularly useful in projects using Symfony or Drupal, as it integrates seamlessly and helps enforce separation of concerns. Twig's sandboxed environment also reduces security risks by preventing execution of arbitrary PHP code in templates.
