Overview
Dwoo is a PHP5 template engine that was started in early 2008. The idea came from the fact that Smarty, a well-known template engine, was getting older and carrying the weight of its age — old features inconsistent with newer ones, and an architecture written for PHP4 that didn't take advantage of PHP5's more advanced OOP features.
Hence Dwoo was born, hoping to provide a more up-to-date and stronger engine. It has proven to be faster than Smarty in many areas, and it provides a compatibility layer to allow developers who have been using Smarty for years to switch their applications over to Dwoo progressively.
Dwoo 2 is the new version of this template engine, rewritten from scratch to take advantage of PHP7 features, namespaces, and modern coding standards.
