This repository contains general data for Web technologies and is maintained by the [MDN team at Mozilla](https://wiki.mozilla.org/MDN).
## Repository contents
The data in this repository is used in MDN Web Docs to build [information boxes](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background) and [sidebar navigation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window).
External tools make use of this data as well, for example, the [CSSTree](https://github.com/csstree/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](./css/README.md) documentation and the [Updating CSS JSON DB](./docs/updating_css_json.md) guide.
### l10n
The l10n folder contains localization strings that are used in the various
json files throughout this repository.
