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. PostCSS is highly modular, with a wide range of plugins available for tasks such as autoprefixing, minification, and linting.
Compared to traditional preprocessors like Sass or Less, PostCSS offers more flexibility and customization through its plugin ecosystem. It is actively maintained and widely used in modern web development workflows, providing a powerful and efficient way to enhance and optimize CSS styles.
