## API
**`CSSwhat.parse(selector)` - Parses `selector`.**
The function returns a two-dimensional array. The first array represents selectors separated by commas (eg. `sub1, sub2`), the second contains the relevant tokens for that selector. Possible token types are:
| name | properties | example | output |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------- | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `tag` | `name` | `div` | `{ type: 'tag', name: 'div' }` |
| `universal` | - | `*` | `{ type: 'universal' }` |
| `pseudo` | `name`, `data` | `:name(data)` | `{ type: 'pseudo', name: 'name', data: 'data' }` |
| `pseudo` | `name`, `data` | `:name` | `{ type: 'pseudo', name: 'name', data: null }` |
| `pseudo-element` | `name` | `::name` | `{ type: 'pseudo-element', name: 'name' }` |
| `attribute` | `name`, `action`, `value`, `ignoreCase` | `[attr]` | `{ type: 'attribute', name: 'attr', action: 'exists', value: '', ignoreCase: false }` |
| `attribute` | `name`, `action`, `value`, `ignoreCase` | `[attr=val]` | `{ type: 'attribute', name: 'attr', action: 'equals', value: 'val', ignoreCase: false }` |
| `attribute` | `name`, `action`, `value`, `ignoreCase` | `[attr^=val]` | `{ type: 'attribute', name: 'attr', action: 'start', value: 'val', ignoreCase: false }` |
| `attribute` | `name`, `action`, `value`, `ignoreCase` | `[attr$=val]` | `{ type: 'attribute', name: 'attr', action: 'end', value: 'val', ignoreCase: false }` |
| `child` | - | `>` | `{ type: 'child' }` |
| `parent` | - | `<` | `{ type: 'parent' }` |
| `sibling` | - | `~` | `{ type: 'sibling' }` |
| `adjacent` | - | `+` | `{ type: 'adjacent' }` |
| `descendant` | - | | `{ type: 'descendant' }` |
| `column-combinator` | - | `\|\|` | `{ type: 'column-combinator' }` |
**`CSSwhat.stringify(selector)` - Turns `selector` back into a string.**
