Crass is a pure Ruby CSS parser that implements the 2013 draft of the CSS Syntax Level 3 specification. I created it because I needed a good Ruby CSS 3 parser and there wasn't one. Now there is!

Features

• Pure Ruby, with no runtime dependencies other than Ruby 1.9.x or higher.

• Extremely tolerant of broken or invalid CSS. If a browser can handle it, Crass should be able to handle it too.

• Optionally includes comments in the token stream.

• Optionally preserves certain CSS hacks, such as the IE "*" hack, which would otherwise be discarded according to CSS3 tokenizing rules.

• Capable of serializing the parse tree back to CSS with perfect fidelity, maintaining all original whitespace, comments, and indentation.

Installing

gem install crass
