twig Getting started with twig What is Twig?

Example

Twig is a templating language that compiles to optimized PHP code. It is primarily used for outputting HTML, but can also be used to output any other text-based format. It is a standalone component that can be easily integrated into any PHP project.

It provides many excellent features:

• Autoescaping for HTML (helps to prevent XSS)
• Syntax designed with templating in mind (based on Django templates)
• Template inheritance
• Macros
