Fast CSS inlining written in Rust

Project description

Build Version Python versions License

Blazing-fast CSS inlining for Python implemented with Mozilla’s Servo project components.

Features:

  • Removing style tags after inlining;

  • Resolving external stylesheets (including local files);

  • Control if style tags should be processed;

  • Additional CSS to inline;

  • Inlining multiple documents in parallel (via Rust-level threads)

The project supports CSS Syntax Level 3.

Installation

To install css_inline via pip run the following command:

pip install css_inline

Usage

To inline CSS in a HTML document:

import css_inline

HTML = """<html>
<head>
    <title>Test</title>
    <style>h1 { color:blue; }</style>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Big Text</h1>
</body>
</html>"""

inlined = css_inline.inline(HTML)
# HTML becomes this:
#
# <html>
# <head>
#    <title>Test</title>
#    <style>h1 { color:blue; }</style>
# </head>
# <body>
#     <h1 style="color:blue;">Big Text</h1>
# </body>
# </html>

If you want to inline many HTML documents, you can utilize inline_many that processes the input in parallel.

import css_inline

css_inline.inline_many(["<...>", "<...>"])

inline_many will use Rust-level threads; thus, you can expect it’s running faster than css_inline.inline via Python’s multiprocessing or threading modules.

For customization options use the CSSInliner class:

import css_inline

inliner = css_inline.CSSInliner(remove_style_tags=True)
inliner.inline("...")

Performance

Due to the usage of efficient tooling from Mozilla’s Servo project (html5ever, rust-cssparser and others) this library has excellent performance characteristics. In comparison with other Python projects, it is ~9-18x faster than the nearest alternative.

For inlining CSS in the html document from the Usage section above we have the following breakdown in our benchmarks:

  • css_inline 0.7.0 - 21.94 us

  • premailer 3.7.0 - 403.48 us (x18.39)

  • inlinestyler 0.2.4 - 2.84 ms (x129.44)

  • pynliner 0.8.0 - 3.34 ms (x152.23)

And for a more realistic email:

  • css_inline 0.7.7 - 446.8 us

  • premailer 3.7.0 - 4.10 ms (x9.18)

  • inlinestyler 0.2.4 - 75.71 ms (x169.43)

  • pynliner 0.8.0 - 124.13 ms (x277.78)

You can take a look at the benchmarks’ code at benches/bench.py file. The results above were measured with stable rustc 1.57.0, Python 3.9.9 on i8700K, and 32GB RAM.

Python support

css_inline supports Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10.
