LightningCSS (Linux x64 GNU Native Binding)

lightningcss-linux-x64-gnu is a platform-specific native Node.js binding for Lightning CSS, an extremely fast CSS parser, transformer, bundler, and minifier written in Rust. It serves as the underlying native module for Linux x64 GNU systems when using the main `lightningcss` npm package. Lightning CSS, currently at version 1.32.0 and released frequently (typically minor versions every few weeks), is known for its exceptional performance, often outperforming JavaScript-based tools by over 100x. Key differentiators include its Rust foundation, browser-grade parsing based on Mozilla's `cssparser` and `selectors` crates, advanced minification techniques (shorthands, merging rules, reducing `calc()` expressions), automatic vendor prefixing, syntax lowering for modern CSS features (like nesting, custom media, high gamut colors) based on `browserslist` targets, and robust support for CSS Modules with local scoping and tree-shaking capabilities.
