unist for CSS?

[justbyitself]

It would be nice to create CSS ASTs in unist. Is there any project like this? Something like hast but for CSS instead HTML. Or something like css-tree but for unified ecosystem. What do you think about it?

Thank you.

Could be simple, like esast over estree: https://github.com/syntax-tree/esast. css-tree already uses types, so it would mainly be about position field (and maybe JSON compatibility?).

That being said, a “standard” without things using it isn’t very useful. Potentially even bad. So there’d need to be an ecosystem too.

I'm agree.

The best of unified is its ecosystem. If CSSTree would use unist, I'm sure a nice ecosystem around would grow around soon. For example, It would be nice something like hastscript but for build CSS trees. And many little plugins could transform that trees in many ways.

Thank you for your answer.
