Rendering Modes of Master CSS

Master CSS provides three rendering modes, which you can choose according to project scale and application scenarios to meet your current business requirements.

It's flexible — can be runtime, zero-runtime, or even hybrid.

Recommended
Progressive Rendering

Render the CSS rules required for the page on the server side or at build time, and lazily load the runtime engine.

Easiest
Runtime Rendering

Observe for changes to class names in the DOM tree to manipulate CSS rules and sync to the runtime stylesheet.
