## Description

This project is a cross-editor theme library and mapper that provides a curated collection of syntax highlighting color schemes. It uses a JSON theme specification to define visual roles and color palettes as immutable data structures, ensuring these definitions remain consistent across different software output targets.

The system functions as a declarative style generator, translating abstract color definitions into the specific configuration formats required by various programming environments. By using a template-based approach, it maps a single source of truth for color definitions to multiple text editors and highlighting libraries.

The project covers the synchronization of visual styles and the standardization of syntax highlighting across different machines and editors. It handles the mapping of curated schemes to specific editor formats to maintain a uniform visual experience.
