CSS Nesting vs. Sass: What's the Difference?

What is the difference between CSS nesting and Sass?

CSS nesting allows you to write nested selectors directly in CSS, while Sass is a preprocessor that extends CSS with features like variables and mixins.

Can you give me an example of CSS nesting?

Sure! In CSS nesting, you can write something like:

nav {
  ul {
    list-style: none;
  }
}

This nests the ul selector inside the nav selector.

How does Sass handle nesting?

In Sass, you can also nest selectors, but you can use features like variables and mixins to make your styles more maintainable. For example:

$primary-color: blue;
nav {
  color: $primary-color;
  ul {
    list-style: none;
  }
}

Is one better than the other?

It depends on your project needs. CSS nesting is simpler and built-in, while Sass offers more powerful features for complex styles.
