Forget static, bloated CSS files and the overhead of runtime style injection. Welcome to the world of JSON-DNS, where visual appearance is no longer mere code—it is a structured data hierarchy engineered with blockchain-like integrity and biological inheritance.
JSON-DNS (Design Node System) is a protocol that deconstructs UI design into atomic units called "Genes." This isn't just a stylesheet wrapped in JSON; it is an evolutionary data model that enables the live, programmatic manipulation of styles.
Four-layer hierarchy: Base, Layout, Component, and Atomic. Information flows through a unidirectional, deterministic cascade—pure biological inheritance.
Every project starts with a unique Master Seed. Files link via Hash-Chain, not filenames. Parent changes? Child senses the mutation instantly.
The EXP layer records not just "what" (blue color) but "why" (design intent, contrast guardrails, logical triggers). Perfect for AI interpretation.
The system operates on four distinct layers: Base (Ancestral DNA), Layout (Skeleton), Component (Organ), and Atomic (Cell). Information flows through a unidirectional, deterministic cascade.
Every project starts with a unique Master Seed. Files are linked via a Hash-Chain rather than filenames. If a parent changes, the child "senses" the mutation instantly.
The protocol includes a metadata layer designed for AI. It records not just the "what" (e.g., blue color) but the "why" (e.g., design intent, contrast guardrails, and logical triggers).
The Idea Engine (AI) can perform "injections" into the system. With a single command, rewrite the entire "genetic code" of a project while preserving specific local mutations.
The DNS-Engine calculates the final genome at runtime. No more !important wars, no more CSS specificity chaos. Just pure, calculated CSS variables.
Forget linear Undo/Redo. JSON-DNS uses a non-linear version graph. Experiment with a style branch, and if it fails, jump back to any previous point in the "phylogeny."
This protocol is the native language of AI. Because it is structured JSON, an AI can interpret and modify the design with 100% precision without breaking the codebase.
In the JSON-DNS ecosystem, AI doesn't just generate; it maintains. AI Antibiotics detect "design inflammation" (e.g., unreadable contrast or excessively deep nested elements) and propose an immediate corrective injection at the DNA level.
Ready to stop coding and start "Genome Editing"?
JSON-DNS is more than a format. It is the Operating System of visual logic.
