Not Design Tokens Format Module compliant

[Pi0up]

Hi,

Great plugin but as your refer to W3G DTCG JSON files are not compliant see module page

Expected
"$type": "borderRadius",
"$value": "2px"
"$description": "something"

The $ makes sure that properties defined by the spec do not conflict with any token names you might create. source

You are correct, but it says "W3C Preview"; it was an implementation made on some early-stage specs.
That was done way earlier than the first formal release of the Design Tokens Community Group specification.

Also, given Figma will natively support import/export of variables to W3C DTCG specs, I am not sure it is worth updating this plugin for it.
@lukasoppermann what do you think?

P.S.
@Pi0up be aware that the link you posted about the module page is outdated. Refer to this link for the current version: https://www.designtokens.org/tr/2025.10/format/

Considering import/export may be used for sharing tokens with other tools (particulary dev tools) and Figma being really slow and not standard dev for the core product, I think it could be a good idea :)

According to Figma's documentation, the import/export feature is being rolled out.

Hey, yes @0m4r we should wait to see if this comes. If we get native import/export, we can probably shut down this plugin all together.

Too bad tokens are not native yet, import/export is nice but mixing design token with pieces of data...
Thanks for your feedback tough
