API for CSS Properties Index

[ideadapt]

I have been looking for an API like access to all CSS properties and values. For example: give me all properties and their corresponding values in css 2.1.
I stumbled upon https://drafts.csswg.org/indexes/#properties and created a POC a-axton/css-properties-values#1 to crawl the data.
A few days ago I saw https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/tree/master/css21/properties. This looks a lot easier to parse.
Now, I have two main questions at this point:

1. Is there a plan to create similar index files for CSS3?
2. Is there already a parser / generator to read / write those structured files?

Oh my, please don't parse the index spec. We already have all the raw data used to generate that available in json from our spec parser. See https://api.csswg.org/shepherd/spec?anchors=1&drafts=1

You can get some (weak, autogenerated) docs by pointing a browser at: http://api.csswg.org/shepherd/

Note the API returns data on all the anchors in the specs, the definitions of values and properties have appropriate type information associated with the anchors. The API also uses a json-home page index page to be discoverable, there's a python client at: https://github.com/plinss/apiclient as an example of how to use it (you can also look a thing the source for Bikeshed).
