Original Design

• Master CSS Syntax: As a whole new language, Master created our own unique syntax.
• Class Highlight: Master is the first language to highlight class names in markup.
• Hybrid Rendering: Apply both JIT and AOT to CSS compilation. Similar to Hydration technology.
• Reactive Styles ─ the one of groundbreaking features that let you style an element based on parent/sibling state.
• Arbitrary selectors and media queries: Apply arbitrary selectors and media queries directly in class="", which is the most powerful and comprehensive language on the market.

Inspiration

Some of our core concepts and designs are inspired by these giants.

• Language: Master is a language, but it was originally inspired by ACSS's concept of atomic classes.
• Virtual CSS: Difference algorithms, virtual models, etc. are inspired by Virtual DOM.
• Group ─ the one of groundbreaking features was inspired by serkodev/master-styles-group.
