postcss: Detailed Overview & Metrics
PostCSS is a versatile tool for transforming CSS with JavaScript plugins. It allows developers to write CSS using modern syntax and features like variables, nesting, and mixins, which are then processed and transformed into standard CSS that browsers can understand. PostCSS is highly modular and extensible, with a wide range of plugins available for tasks like autoprefixing, minification, and linting.
Compared to traditional preprocessors like Sass or Less, PostCSS offers more flexibility and control over the CSS transformation process. It is actively maintained and widely used in modern web development workflows, making it a popular choice for optimizing and enhancing CSS stylesheets.
