The DTCG JSON format unlocks interoperability and theming between your tools. View the specification Join the community The Design Tokens W3C Community Group (DTCG) is a community of designers, developers, and tooling vendors standardizing how design tokens are defined and exchanged. We steward the Design Tokens specification so teams can share visual language reliably across design tools, codebases, and platforms. By collaborating in the open, we collect real-world use cases, document best practices, and publish technical reports that help an ecosystem of tools stay interoperable. Trusted by leading design tools Organizations building design tools and open-source projects are already shipping DTCG-compatible tokens.

Facilitate workstreams, community calls, and issue discussions on GitHub so implementers can shape the spec with evidence from production use. Provide guidance: glossary, examples, and technical reports—that helps teams adopt the specification confidently. Who builds the specification The specification is developed by volunteer chairs, editors, and contributors representing design system teams, tooling vendors, and independent experts. Together they triage issues, draft proposals, and align on changes that keep the standard focused and practical.
