Repository contents

The data in this repository is used in MDN Web Docs to build information boxes and sidebar navigation. External tools make use of this data as well, for example, the CSSTree CSS parser.

There's a top-level directory for each broad area covered: for example, api and css. Inside each of these directories is one or more JSON files containing the data.

api

Contains data about Web APIs:

• API inheritance (interface inheritance and mixin implementations)

css

Contains data about:

• CSS at-rules
• CSS functions
• CSS properties
• CSS selectors
• CSS syntaxes
• CSS types
• CSS units

For more information, see the CSS data documentation and the Updating CSS JSON DB guide.

l10n

The l10n folder contains localization strings that are used in the various json files throughout this repository.
