The W3C has released a Note describing the Simple API for CSS (SAC), adding a "brief outline" to the Javadoc files previously available.
SAC is designed to do for Cascading Style Sheets what the Simple API for XML (SAX) does for XML: provide a lightweight API for connecting CSS parsers to applications.
The W3C has created Flute, a Java-based open-source CSS parser, but other parsers could also use the SAC API. A C implementation of the API (but not a parser) is also available.
