Description
-----------

[](#description)

A CSS parser, primarily designed for minifying CSS documents.

The parser designed around a tokeniser to make the document processing more reliable than regex based minifiers, which are a bit blunt and can be problematic if they match patterns in the wrong places.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To minify a CSS document:

```
$doc = new \hexydec\css\cssdoc();

// load from a variable
if ($doc->load($css) {

	// minify the document
	$doc->minify();

	// compile back to CSS
	echo $doc->compile();
}
```

You can test out the minifier online at , or run the supplied index.php file after installation.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The easiest way to get up and running is to use composer:

```
$ composer install hexydec/cssdoc

```

CSSdoc requires [\\hexydec\\token\\tokenise](https://github.com/hexydec/tokenise) to run, which you can install manually if not using composer.
