Summary

The flexible, fast, and secure template engine for PHP.

* Fast: Twig compiles templates down to plain optimized PHP code. The

allows Twig to be used as a template language for applications where users may modify the template design.

* Flexible: Twig is powered by a flexible lexer and parser. This allows the

developer to define its own custom tags and filters, and create its own

DSL.
