            Bug ID: 164691
           Summary: Replace CSSPropertyNames.in with a JSON file
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Local Build
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

          Severity: Normal

As a first step towards generating both CSS property names and CSS keyword values from a single JSON file, remove CSSPropertyNames.in with a JSON file called CSSProperties.json and teach makeprop.pl how to parse it. The motivation for having a single JSON file that describes CSS property names and values is to make it straightforward to add a CSS feature status dashboard to webkit.org similar to the WebKit Feature Status dashboard, <https://webkit.org/status/>. Additionally, having a single structured file that describes CSS properties will allow us to reduce the amount of boilerplate code a person needs to add to support a new CSS property, especially for CSS properties that only take keyword values, by auto generating it.
