Stitches vs PreCSS: What are the differences?

What is Stitches? The modern CSS-in-JS library with near-zero runtime. It is a fully-typed CSS-in-JS library featuring near-zero runtime, server-side rendering, multi-variant support, and a best-in-class developer experience.

What is PreCSS? Use Sass-like markup in your CSS. It combines Sass-like syntactical sugar — like variables, conditionals, and iterators — with emerging CSS features — like logical and custom properties, media query ranges, and image sets.

Stitches and PreCSS belong to "CSS Pre-processors / Extensions" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Stitches are:

Avoids unnecessary prop interpolations at runtime, making it significantly more performant than other styling libraries
Both @stitches/core and @stitches/react libraries combined weigh in at ~8.0kb gzipped
Supports cross-browser server-side rendering, even for responsive styles and variants

What are some alternatives to PreCSS and Stitches?

Sass

Sass is an extension of CSS3, adding nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. It's translated to well-formatted, standard CSS using the command line tool or a web-framework plugin.

Animate.css

It is a bunch of cool, fun, and cross-browser animations for you to use in your projects. Great for emphasis, home pages, sliders, and general just-add-water-awesomeness.

Less

Less is a CSS pre-processor, meaning that it extends the CSS language, adding features that allow variables, mixins, functions and many other techniques that allow you to make CSS that is more maintainable, themable and extendable.

Autoprefixer

It is a CSS post processor. It combs through compiled CSS files to add or remove vendor prefixes like -webkit and -moz after checking the code.

css-loader

The css-loader interprets @import and url() like import/require() and will resolve them.
