View is a modern, elegant, and powerful template engine. Inspired by Blade, JSX, Twig, and other popular engines, it smartly merges HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript into .vw files, enabling structured, dynamic, and maintainable code generation.
Designed for the Sikessem ecosystem yet completely standalone, View can be integrated into any project — whether it's built with PHP, JavaScript, Python, or another language. It stands as a serious alternative to JSX/TSX or Blade/Twig, offering a clean, modular, and intuitive syntax that seamlessly bridges frontend and backend development.

An example to see how the code works :
- The
Viewcode
<html>
[lang="fr"]
{color:red;}
(
<head>
(
<meta>[charset="UTF-8"]
<title>(View source)
)
<body>
(
<p>[id="main-content"]{color:blue}(Welcome to View !)
)
)
- The equivalent
HTML5code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="fr">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8"/>
<title>View source</title>
<style>
html
{
color: red;
}
p#main-content
{
color: blue;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Welcome to View !</p>
</body>
</html>The equivalent PHP5 code
<?php
use Sikessem\View\Document;
$document = new Document('html', 5);
$document->setAttribute('lang', 'fr');
$document->setProperty('color', 'red');
$document->head->meta->charset = 'UTF-8';
$document->title = 'Welcome to View !';
$p = $document->createElement('p');
$p->setAttribute('id', 'main-content');
$p->setProperty('color', 'red');
$p->setContent('Welcome to View !');
$document->prepend($p, $body);
$document->save();The full documentation for the Sikessem View can be found here.
