How does Twig handle security compared to Mustache or Blade?
The question is about Twig
Twig has several securities on by default, including automatic output escaping, preventing XSS attacks by encoding all variables safely while being rendered in HTML. The default behavior minimizes the chance a developer might make a mistake in template security. On the other hand, Mustache enforces the “logic-less” dogma and has no security built-in; it leaves data sanitization to developers’ mercy, which surely opens up many vulnerabilities if the developer is not careful. Blade is a templating engine created and provided with Laravel, also escaping automatically by default, but coupled tightly with the Laravel ecosystem. Twig stands out because it combines its flexibility with rigid security features, making it very suitable for PHP applications that require a secure yet customizable template.
