Single-purpose plugin design

[TomokiMiyauci]

Plugins that require parsing of properties and values can have a significant impact on performance if the same parsing is done for each plugin.

Heavy processing should be done only once in its entirety, but for a plugin, we want to provide a single function.
For example, I am thinking of a plugin that only compresses rgba using postcss-value-parser.

If the parsing is done for each such small plugin, it will affect the performance.

Is there a mechanism to share values between plugins?
Or is there a good way to achieve the above?

No mechanism for now. We have plans to add value parser into the core, but it will not finished soon.

Thanks for the answer.
