ph-css is a Java library for parsing, representing, modifying, and writing CSS stylesheets.
It focuses on the grammatical structure of CSS, letting applications read complete stylesheets or inline declaration lists, traverse CSS objects, adjust rules and URLs, and serialize the result as formatted or optimized output. The project also includes a Maven plugin for compressing CSS files during a build.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Reads complete CSS files and CSS declaration lists from files, readers, stream providers, or strings.
- Represents stylesheets as Java objects covering imports, namespaces, style rules, media rules, font-face rules, keyframes, supports rules, layer rules, and unknown at-rules.
- Provides visitor APIs for iterating through declarations and URLs, including support for modifying URL references inside stylesheets.
- Writes CSS as formatted output or optimized output, with options for minification and removal of unnecessary code.
- Includes utilities for CSS colours, units, numbers, rectangles, data URLs, media queries, and selected shorthand properties.
