CSS and SCSS are both used for styling web pages, but they differ significantly in terms of capabilities and structure. CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is the standard stylesheet language used in web development to control the layout, colors, fonts, and spacing of HTML elements. It’s simple and widely supported, but it has limitations when it comes to handling complex or large-scale stylesheets. SCSS, which stands for Sassy CSS, is a syntax of Sass (Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets) and is a preprocessor scripting language that extends the functionality of regular CSS. It allows developers to use variables, nested rules, mixins, functions, and inheritance, which makes writing and maintaining styles more efficient and organized. SCSS code is compiled into standard CSS before it is rendered by browsers, enabling developers to work with more advanced features during development without sacrificing compatibility. The SCSS syntax is very similar to CSS, which makes it easier for those familiar with CSS to adopt, but with added flexibility and power for building scalable and maintainable stylesheets. Ultimately, while CSS is foundational and essential, SCSS enhances the workflow by introducing programming-like features that streamline and improve the styling process in modern web development.
