Why use Twig instead of Smarty for PHP templating?
The question is about Twig
Many people prefer Twig over Smarty for PHP templating due to its more modern syntax, much stricter separation between logic and presentation, and built-in security. Syntax in Twig is cleaner and more intuitive. Hence, it is easier to read and maintain templates, at least for larger projects. It also enforces a “logic-less” approach, making developers keep business logic out of templates, promoting modularity and code maintainability. By default, Twig has automatic output escaping that prevents XSS attacks with no additional setup or configuration. Also, Twig is utilized by many frameworks, which means it receives great support and a high degree of compatibility with modern PHP development. Smarty allows more flexibility-embedded PHP but tends to encourage cluttered templates and security issues if not kept on top of it.
