PHP CSS Parser is a PHP library for reading CSS and turning it into a structured document model that applications can inspect, modify, and render back to CSS.
It’s designed for developers who need programmatic access to stylesheets, whether for cleaning CSS, rewriting declarations, analysing rules, or generating optimized output from parsed CSS.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Parses CSS strings or files into a manipulable PHP object structure.
- Allows rules, declarations, selectors, and values to be inspected and changed before output.
- Renders parsed documents back to CSS, including optimized output formatting.
- Installs via Composer using the sabberworm/php-css-parser package.
- Supports modern CSS parsing improvements, including container queries and CSS Color Module Level 4 syntax.
