## What it is
A PHP library that parses CSS files into a manipulable data structure and can output the structure back as (optimized) CSS. It supports strict or lenient parsing, charset handling, and programmatic manipulation of rules, selectors, and values.

## Use cases
- parse css files in php
- extract css rules into a data structure
- programmatically modify css stylesheets
- minify or optimize css output
- analyze css selectors and rules in php
- convert css files to structured data

## When to choose
- you need to parse, inspect, or transform CSS from PHP code
- you want to build CSS tooling like minifiers or linters in PHP
- you need tolerant parsing of real-world CSS including legacy IE constructs

## When to avoid
- you need a browser-grade CSS engine or full CSS selector matching
- you work outside PHP
- you need to render or apply CSS to HTML documents
