CSSParser is a tiny Swift wrapper around the pure C katana-parser framework.

Basic Usage

This framework is intended to be used with any kind of document that benefits from styling via stylesheets. It works by first parsing the contents of a stylesheet, and then providing hooks to query this parsed stylesheet to see which styles apply to a given node in an element tree.

The basic parts of the CSS spec are implemented, allowing for things like sibling selectors, attribute selectors, and so on.

A basic example:

letsheet="box { height: 100 } #blah { flex: 1}"letparsed=StyleSheet(string: sheet)!
// SomeElement conforms to the StyleElement protocol.
letelement=SomeElement(tagName:"box")letstyles= parsed.stylesForElement(element)
// Values come back as strings and must be parsed into their corresponding type.
element.height =NumberFormatter().number(from:styles["height"])?.intValue ??0

Considerations

Much of the CSS specification is not handled, but the framework is generic enough so that it can be easily extended. Contributions are welcome!
