 ## Renderer
 
-For the moment only one renderer is available, the binary renderer.
+Choose from one of two renderers, the binary renderer and mjml-php.
 
 ### Binary

 The `node` option is there for those who have problems with `$PATH`, see [#35](https://github.com/notFloran/mjml-bundle/issues/35).
 
+### mjml-php
+
+Install [mjml-php](https://github.com/alekitto/mjml-php), a PHP extension that embeds [MRML](https://github.com/jdrouet/mrml), 
+the MJML rendering engine written in Rust, so that you can render MJML templates directly from PHP without shelling out to a CLI tool. 
+
+Then you need to update the configuration:
+
+```yaml
+# config/packages/mjml.yaml
+mjml:
+  renderer: mjml_php
+```
+
 ### Custom
 
 First you must create a class which implements `NotFloran\MjmlBundle\Renderer\RendererInterface`, then declare it as a service.
