## What it is
Twig.js is a pure JavaScript implementation of the Twig PHP templating language, usable in both browsers and Node.js. It supports a subset of Twig syntax and integrates with Express as a view engine.

## Use cases
- render twig templates in node.js
- use twig as an express view engine
- render templates in the browser
- share twig templates between php and javascript apps
- compile twig template files to html

## When to choose
- you need Twig syntax in a JavaScript environment
- you're building an Express app and prefer Twig templates
- you want browser and server-side rendering with the same template language

## When to avoid
- you need full Twig PHP feature parity, since only a subset is supported
- you prefer modern JS templating like Handlebars, EJS, or React components

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: templating, web-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, backend
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: twig, template-engine, javascript, express, nodejs
