Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS) is one of 294 APIs that [Salesforce](https://apis.io/providers/salesforce/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Components, CSS, Design System, Lightning, and UI. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, a getting-started guide, and a GitHub repository.

The Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS) provides HTML and CSS component blueprints, design tokens, and utility classes for building applications visually consistent with Salesforce Lightning Experience. Developers reference SLDS in Lightning Web Components, Aura components, and Visualforce pages to match Salesforce's design language without including SLDS directly, as it is automatically available in the Lightning runtime.
