What is Object Oriented CSS Wiki?
OOCSS is an object-oriented CSS framework that provides a methodology for writing scalable, maintainable stylesheets. It applies software engineering principles to CSS development, treating visual patterns as reusable objects rather than context-specific rules. The framework helps solve problems of CSS bloat, specificity conflicts, and maintainability in large projects.
Frontend developers and CSS architects working on large-scale web applications who need maintainable, performant stylesheets. Teams building design systems or component libraries that require reusable CSS patterns.
Developers choose OOCSS for its systematic approach to CSS architecture that reduces code duplication and improves performance. Its object-oriented methodology provides a predictable structure that scales well across teams and projects, unlike traditional CSS approaches that often become difficult to maintain.
