PostCSS

PostCSS is a JavaScript-based tool for transforming CSS with plugins. It parses CSS into an abstract syntax tree (AST), allowing developers to apply various transformations and optimizations through a plugin ecosystem. It is commonly used for tasks like autoprefixing, linting, and using future CSS syntax.

Also known as: Post CSS, post-css, postcss.js, PostCSS tool, CSS post-processor

Why learn PostCSS?

Developers should learn PostCSS to enhance their CSS workflow with automation and modern features, especially in build processes for web projects. It is ideal for projects requiring vendor prefixing, CSS optimization, or using experimental CSS features through plugins like Autoprefixer or CSSNano. Use it when you need a flexible, plugin-driven approach to CSS processing, often integrated with tools like Webpack or Gulp.
