## What it is
Stylable is a CSS preprocessor and type system from Wix that scopes styles to components, exposing a style API so components can be reused across teams without style clashes. It compiles at build time to flat, valid vanilla CSS and integrates via a webpack plugin with any component framework.

## Use cases
- scope css styles to components so they don't leak
- build a design system with reusable styled components
- add a type system to css with build-time errors
- reduce css bundle size with rule-shaking
- style components externally via pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements
- use css variables and mixins at build time

## When to choose
- you're building a large component library or design system on webpack
- you want scoped, clash-free CSS with a style API per component
- you want build-time validation and IDE intelligence for styles

## When to avoid
- your project doesn't use webpack or a supported bundler integration
- you just need simple global or utility CSS
- you prefer runtime CSS-in-JS solutions
