DISCLAIMER: This package is still in active development. That means that features and conventions within this package are subject to change with minor patch updates (i.e. 0.0.1 => 0.1.0).

This package leans on the concept of design tokens. This definition of design tokens is borrowed from the W3C Community Group Design Tokens Format Module Draft Version 2:

Design tokens are a methodology for expressing design decisions in a platform-agnostic way so that they can be shared across different disciplines, tools, and technologies. They help establish a common vocabulary across organisations.

In short, similarly to how JSON, GraphQL, and Protocol Buffers offer language agnostic protocols for data transfer, design tokens are a platform agnostic approach to design system architecture that support an enhanced transparency and understanding of the design decisions an organization makes.

Design Tokens
