It provides a familiar syntax for those coming from Python while offering a native PHP implementation. ### Key Features [](#key-features) - **Python Compatibility**: Process the same Jinja templates in both Python and PHP - **Variable Support**: Full support for variables, properties, and nested structures - **Conditional Logic**: `if`/`else` statements for conditional rendering - **Loops**: Iterate over arrays and objects with `for` loops - **Filters**: Transform output with built-in filters like `upper`, `lower`, `default`, etc. - **Flexible Loaders**: Load templates from strings or the filesystem - **Undefined Variable Handling**: Different strategies for handling undefined variables - **Expressions**: Support for mathematical operations, comparisons, and concatenation Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` use ByJG\JinjaPhp\Template; use ByJG\JinjaPhp\Undefined\DebugUndefined; $templateString = 'World' ]; echo $template->render($variables); ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) The detailed documentation is organized as follows: 1. [Basic Usage](docs/basic-usage.md) 2. [Template Syntax](docs/template-syntax.md) 3. [Loaders](docs/loaders.md) 4. [Undefined Variables](docs/undefined-variables.md) 5. [Filters](docs/filters.md) 6.
