About Design Token → JSON

The CSS Variables / SCSS to W3C Design Tokens (JSON) Converter parses CSS custom properties (`:root { --color-primary: #3b82f6; }`) and SCSS variable maps, structuring them into standard W3C DTCG `$value` / `$type` JSON files for Figma and design tools.

Step-by-Step Guide

How to Use Design Token → JSON

Step 1

Paste your CSS `:root` variables or SCSS variables into the editor.

2

Step 2

Review the structured JSON token tree.

Step 3

Click "Copy JSON" or "Download tokens.json".

Industry Scenarios

Practical Use Cases for Design Token → JSON

Reverse-Engineering CSS Codebases into Figma Design Tokens

Extract existing CSS stylesheets into structured JSON tokens to import into Tokens Studio for Figma.

Standardizing Legacy CSS Variables into Modern Token Repositories

Migrate unstructured CSS variables into typed JSON dictionaries with automated category inference (color, dimension, font).

Sample Data & Transformation

Input & Output Examples

Converting CSS Variables to DTCG JSON

Input Sample:
`:root { --color-brand: #3b82f6; --spacing-lg: 24px; }`
Processed Result:
`{\n  "color": { "brand": { "$value": "#3b82f6", "$type": "color" } },\n  "spacing": { "lg": { "$value": "24px", "$type": "dimension" } }\n}`
Technical Capabilities

Key Features & Performance

  • Automatically infers token types: `color`, `dimension`, `fontFamily`, `fontWeight`, `shadow`, `duration`.
  • De-hyphenates kebab-case variable names into hierarchical JSON object trees.
  • Outputs compliant W3C Design Tokens Community Group JSON format.
  • 100% Client-Side AST parser.
  • 1-Click Download `tokens.json`.
Technical Glossary

Key Terminology & Definitions

Type Inference

Analyzing CSS value formats (hex codes, px/rem measurements, font names) to classify each token into its correct `$type`.

Object Tree Reconstruction

Parsing delimited variable names (e.g. `--btn-primary-bg`) into structured nested objects (`btn.primary.bg`).

Frequently Asked Questions (PAA)

Design Token → JSON FAQs

Yes! Both CSS custom properties (`--var`) and SCSS variables (`$var`) are supported.
