SASS
SASS (Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets) is a preprocessor scripting language that extends CSS. It adds features like variables, nesting, and mixins, enhancing the power and efficiency of styling web pages. Sass files are compiled into standard CSS for browser interpretation.
Since browsers are unable to read a SASS file, so, we are required to use a SASS compiler that converts its file to a normal CSS file. It also helps reduce the overall length of the code by discarding the repeated CSS code and therefore saves time. It was designed by Hampton Catlin and developed by Natalie Weizenbaum in 2006.
