Core

• @udt/dtcg-parser: A library for parsing DTCG design token files to a Token Object Model (TOM) representation.
• @udt/dtcg-serializer: A library for serializing Token Object Models (TOM) to DTCG design token files.

CLI tools

• @udt/dtcg2csv: A CLI tool that can parse DTCG design token files and output information about the design tokens as a CSV file.

Other

• UDT Demos: Demo scripts to showcase how the core UDT libraries can be used.
