Abstract
Techniques are described herein that are capable of incrementally tokenizing and/or parsing a style sheet. For example, tokens may be created to represent respective sequences of characters in a style sheet. A token that includes a change (a.k.a. a changed token) and other token(s) that follow the changed token may be re-tokenized and/or parsed without re-tokenizing and/or parsing token(s) that precede the changed token. In another example, hierarchical node trees may be used to represent a style sheet. Each of the hierarchical node trees includes a respective subset of tokens, which are assigned among various hierarchical levels of the respective hierarchical node tree. Each of the tokens has a respective absolute or relative character position that indicates a location in the style sheet of the sequence of characters that is represented by the respective token. Absolute character positions may be updated without updating the relative character positions.
