## What it is
Twig is a fast, secure, and flexible template engine and template language for PHP, inspired by Django and Jinja. It compiles templates to optimized PHP code, supports sandboxing of untrusted templates, and allows custom tags, filters, and DSLs.

## Use cases
- render html templates in a php application
- separate presentation logic from php code
- let users safely edit templates with sandbox mode
- define custom template tags and filters
- build themes for drupal or symfony projects

## When to choose
- you need a mature, secure templating layer for PHP
- you want concise, designer-friendly template syntax with auto-escaping
- you use Symfony, Drupal, or another framework supporting Twig

## When to avoid
- you are not working in PHP
- you prefer plain PHP templates or a JS-based templating stack

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: templating, web-framework
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: php, cross-platform
- tags: template-engine, template-language, jinja-inspired, autoescaping, sandbox, symfony, web-server
