I'm working on a project where a user can edit a CSS-file. However, we need to set some rules that must not be overwritten. Using the !important rule would be one way to do this, but in a worst-case-scenario, the user could overwrite that too by simply using !important himself. So our general idea is to find a parser that let's us understand the user's CSS and put our style-definitions where they are needed.

Now we have found some parsers, but we feel that parsing CSS-code can be tricky — we don't know if library X does its job well. So our question is if someone already has experience with a CSS-parser and can recommend it.

csspurify may at least be able to get you started on what you want to do. It's a CSS parser that lets you filter out rulesets and rules. It's relatively new, but it may at least give you a jumping off point.
