Sass

Definitions

1. Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets — a CSS preprocessor that adds variables, nesting, mixins, partials, and inheritance to standard CSS. Sass files (.scss or indented .sass syntax) compile down to plain CSS. It remains widely used in large codebases for organizing and reusing styles.

   In plain English: An extension of CSS that adds useful features like variables and reusable style blocks, which then gets converted into regular CSS for the browser.

   Example: "Define the brand colors as Sass variables in _tokens.scss so every component references the same values and a rebrand is a one-line change."
