· Twig can be used as a template language for applications where users may modify the template design.
· Concise language.
· Clean error messages.
· Twig supports from multiple inheritance, blocks to automatic output-escaping, and much more.
· Unit tested.
· Documentation provided.
Requirements:

· Enforced interface when adding tests, filters, functions, and node visitors from extensions
