## What it is
Diez is an open-source design token framework that lets teams define visual styles (colors, typography, shadows, etc.) in TypeScript and compile them into native packages for iOS, Android, and Web. It includes a compiler, a prefab library, design-file extractors for Figma/Sketch/XD, and a static documentation generator.

## Use cases
- share design tokens across ios android and web apps
- keep brand colors and typography consistent across platforms
- extract design tokens from figma or sketch automatically
- generate a styleguide website from design token source of truth
- build a design system foundation for multiple codebases
- treat design files as versionable code artifacts

## When to choose
- you maintain a design system spanning native mobile and web codebases
- you want a single TypeScript source of truth for visual styles
- you need automated design-to-code handoff from Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD

## When to avoid
- you only target a single platform with no cross-platform style sharing needs
- you need a project with frequent updates and active community support
- you want a CSS-in-JS or runtime theming solution rather than compiled native packages
