sass-json-export

sass-json-export allows you to export your Sass data structures as JSON.

It is based on Hugo Giraudel's SassyJSON, which is no longer maintained. It is simplified to include only the JSON exporter from SassyJSON, and not the (much more complex) JSON parser.

Install

sass-json-export is available on npm.

Git

git clone https://github.com/oddbird/sass-json-export.git && cd sass-json-export

npm

npm install sass-json-export --save-dev

Example

Encoding Sass to JSON

Sass

$map: ((a: (1 2 ( b : 1 )), b: ( #444444, false, ( a: 1, b: test ) ), c: (2 3 4 string)));
 
@include json-encode($map);

CSS

/*! json-encode: '{"a": [1, 2, {"b": 1}], "b": ["#444444", false, {"a": 1, "b": "test"}], "c": [2, 3, 4, "string"]}' */
 
body::before {
  display:block;
  width:0;height:0;
  overflow:hidden;
  content: '{"a": [1, 2, {"b": 1}], "b": ["#444444", false, {"a": 1, "b": "test"}], "c": [2, 3, 4, "string"]}';
}
 
head {
  font-family: '{"a": [1, 2, {"b": 1}], "b": ["#444444", false, {"a": 1, "b": "test"}], "c": [2, 3, 4, "string"]}';
}
 
@media -json-encode {
  json {
    json: '{"a": [1, 2, {"b": 1}], "b": ["#444444", false, {"a": 1, "b": "test"}], "c": [2, 3, 4, "string"]}';
  }
}

If you want to restrict the output to only one of the three drivers (comment, media query or regular output) you can pass a flag as the second parameter with one of the four following keywords: all, comment, media or regular. Default is all.
