## What it is
Latte is a secure, intuitive templating engine for PHP featuring context-sensitive escaping that automatically protects against XSS vulnerabilities. It uses PHP-like syntax, compiles templates for speed, and includes sandboxing and template inheritance.

## Use cases
- render html templates in php safely
- prevent xss vulnerabilities in web pages
- separate presentation logic from application code
- migrate from twig or plain php templates
- sandbox user-edited templates
- reuse layout structures with template inheritance

## When to choose
- you need the strongest automatic XSS protection in a PHP templating engine
- you want PHP-like syntax so developers don't learn a new template language
- you need to render untrusted user-authored templates in a sandbox
- you're building on the Nette framework

## When to avoid
- your project is not written in PHP
- you're already standardized on Twig or Blade with no security pain points
- you need a JavaScript or client-side templating solution
