This project is abandoned

I am sorry to say but this project is abandoned, and I stopped maintaining it back in 2012, as my focus has shifted from Java.

However, there might be an active fork with improvements. Please check the fork tree below.

Again, I am so sorry but I highly appreciate all the stars and forks this project has gotten 😃

OSBCP CSS Parser

A simple CSS parser in Java.

An oh, it is also very strict. If it finds an unexpected character in your CSS it self-destructs, taking you with you - making it a great tool to validate strict CSS.

Code examples

As String directly:

	List<Rule> rules = CSSParser.parse("div { width: 100px; -mozilla-opacity: 345; }");

Or from a file (using Apache Commons IO):

		String contents = IOUtils.toString(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("stylesheet.css"));

		List<Rule> rules = CSSParser.parse(contents);

To print it all out:

	for (Rule rule : rules) {
	
		System.out.println(rule);
		
	}

Or go into details:

	for (Rule rule : rules) {
	
		// Get all the selectors (such as 'table', 'table td', 'a')
		List<Selector> selectors = rule.getSelectors();
		
		// Get all the property (such as 'width') and its value (such as '100px')	
		List<PropertyValue> propertyValues = rule.getPropertyValues();
	
	}
