Emotion is a performant, flexible CSS-in-JS library designed for writing CSS styles using JavaScript, supporting both string-based and object-based styles while delivering a strong developer experience, complete with source maps, labels, and testing utilities. It offers two powerful usage patterns; a framework-agnostic approach which requires no special configuration yet supports vendor-prefixing, nested selectors, media queries, and class composition through the CSS and CX functions; and a React-optimized variant providing advanced features like the CSS prop for direct styling (similar to the style prop but with support for nested selectors, media queries, and theming capabilities), zero-configuration server-side rendering, native theming, and compatibility with ESLint tooling. Emotion also supports styled-component-like APIs, enabling tag-based or component-based styled elements with dynamic prop-driven styling.
