Twig is a flexible, fast, and secure templating engine for PHP. It allows developers to separate the presentation layer from application logic by providing a clean syntax for generating dynamic web content. Twig is widely used within PHP frameworks like Symfony and Drupal, and it supports features such as template inheritance, filters, macros, and security features to prevent common vulnerabilities.
