OSBCP CSS Parser

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();

}
