Smarty

Smarty is a popular PHP-based templating engine that separates presentation logic from business logic by allowing output formatting to be defined separately from the core application code. It works by defining templates that consist of basic HTML markup along with Smarty tags and variables to dynamically output data. When a template is called, Smarty compiles it, replaces variables with their assigned values, applies any filters or modifiers, and outputs the fully rendered HTML. It provides features like caching, template inheritance, conditional logic, iteration over arrays, and JavaScript escaping to make templates cleaner and easier to manage.
