Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a stylesheet language used to control the presentation of HTML and XML documents, defining layout, colors, typography, and responsive behavior across different devices.

It uses a cascading and specificity model to resolve style conflicts, supports reusable rules and selectors, and includes layout systems such as Flexbox and Grid, media queries for responsive design, and features for animations, transformations, and advanced text formatting.

The Open Graph protocol is a web metadata standard that defines how webpages are described as structured objects for use in social graphs and enables their consistent representation.

It specifies a set of HTML meta properties that start with "og:" (such as og:title, og:type, og:image, and og:description) to add semantic meaning to a page's content and control how that content should be represented.
