How does Twig compare to Mustache in terms of template logic?

The question is about Twig

Answer:

The big difference between Twig and Mustache is in the handling of logic within the templates. Twig has far more latitude and functionality within its templates, whereas Mustache is very strict in its views on being “logic-less”. For example, Twig supports conditional statements, loops, and custom filters directly in the template, which allows for complex processing and formatting of data within the view layer. That makes Twig suitable for projects where more control over presentation logic is required. Mustache, on the other hand, is very strict with logic separation from presentation. It only allows placeholders and basic iterators, meaning that any logic has to be handled fully in the backend. The rigid segregation makes Mustache ideal for simpler templates, allowing clear division between logic and presentation. However, it can get restrictive with more complex workloads when such flexibility would strongly benefit with the implementation of Twig.
