NAME

CSS::Minifier::Parser — custom brace-counting CSS parser

DESCRIPTION

Parses raw CSS into a Document tree using brace-counting and character-level scanning. Handles strings (single/double quotes with escapes), comments, braceless at-rules (@import, @charset, @namespace), and recursive block structure for nested at-rules.

Note: CSS native nesting (e.g. & b { ... }) is not supported and will silently misparse. Nested rulesets must be flattened before minification. @keyframes (percentage/from/to keyframe selectors) IS handled correctly.

Methods

• parse(Str $css, Bool :$preserve-licenses -- Document)> — parses CSS and returns a Document tree. When :$preserve-licenses is True, /*! */ comments are extracted into Document.licenses.

EXPORTED SUBS

• parse-body(Str $body -- List)> — parses the body of a ruleset or declaration-only at-rule into a list of key => value Pair objects.
