A CSS parser written in OCaml.
Parses a CSS string and produces an AST.
npm install -g esy

esy dune runtestlet css = {| { color: red !important; width: 100%; } |} in let ast = Css.Parser.parse_stylesheet css in (* ast is a value of type Css.Stylesheet.t defined in lib/types.mli *) (* that looks like that: ([Rule.Style_rule {Style_rule.prelude = ([], Location.none); block = ([Declaration_list.Declaration {Declaration.name = ("color", Location.none); value = ([(Component_value.Ident "blue", Location.none)], Location.none); important = (true, Location.none); loc = Location.none; }; {Declaration.name = ("width", Location.none); value = ([(Component_value.Percentage "100", Location.none)], Location.none); important = (false, Location.none); loc = Location.none; }; ], Location.none); loc = Location.none; }; ], Location.none) *)
Whitespaces and comments are discarded by the lexer, so they are not available
to the parser. An exception is made for significant whitespaces in rule
preludes, to disambiguate between selectors like p :first-child and
p:first-child. These whitespaces are replaced with * to keep CSS semantics
intact. So, e.g., p :first-child is parsed as p *:first-child, p .class
as p *.class, and p #id as p *#id.
