## What it is
A Grunt plugin that compiles Sass/SCSS to CSS using Dart Sass. It integrates Sass compilation into Grunt build pipelines with source map support.

## Use cases
- compile sass to css in a grunt build
- convert scss files to css automatically
- add sass compilation to grunt task pipeline
- generate source maps when compiling sass
- replace libsass with dart sass in grunt

## When to choose
- your project already uses Grunt as its build system
- you want Dart Sass compilation wired into an existing Gruntfile
- you need source maps for compiled stylesheets

## When to avoid
- you use webpack, Vite, or Gulp instead of Grunt
- you are starting a new project without Grunt
- you only need a standalone Sass CLI

- maturity: stable
- function: build-tool, css-framework
