# CSSOM
CSSOM.js is a CSS parser written in pure JavaScript. It is also a partial implementation of [CSS Object Model](http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom/).
CSSOM.parse("body {color: black}")
-> {
cssRules: [
{
selectorText: "body",
style: {
0: "color",
color: "black",
length: 1
}
}
]
}
## [Parser demo](http://nv.github.com/CSSOM/docs/parse.html)
Works well in Google Chrome 6+, Safari 5+, Firefox 3.6+, Opera 10.63+.
Doesn't work in IE < 9 because of unsupported getters/setters.
To use CSSOM.js in the browser you might want to build a one-file version that exposes a single `CSSOM` global variable:
git clone https://github.com/NV/CSSOM.git
cd CSSOM
node build.js
build/CSSOM.js is done
To use it with Node.js or any other CommonJS loader:
npm install cssom
## Dont use it if...
You parse CSS to mungle, minify or reformat code like this:
```css
div {
background: gray;
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, white 0%, black 100%);
}
```
This pattern is often used to give browsers that dont understand linear gradients a fallback solution (e.g. gray color in the example).
In CSSOM, `background: gray` [gets overwritten](http://nv.github.io/CSSOM/docs/parse.html#css=div%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20background%3A%20gray%3B%0A%20%20%20%20background%3A%20linear-gradient(to%20bottom%2C%20white%200%25%2C%20black%20100%25)%3B%0A%7D).
It doesn't get preserved.
If you do CSS mungling, minification, image inlining, and such, CSSOM.js is no good for you, considere using one of the following:
* [postcss](https://github.com/postcss/postcss)
* [reworkcss/css](https://github.com/reworkcss/css)
* [csso](https://github.com/css/csso)
* [mensch](https://github.com/brettstimmerman/mensch)
## [Tests](http://nv.github.com/CSSOM/spec/)
To run tests locally:
git submodule init
git submodule update
