When will Figma support native JSON-based editing of variables and text styles (like Token Studio)?

Hi everyone,

 

Are there plans to support native JSON import/editing for variables and text styles, similar to what Token Studio does?

One concrete use case: generating a full typographic scale (with sizes, line heights, naming etc.) from a structured JSON and importing it directly into Figma. Right now, creating or updating a large scale manually can be time-consuming and error-prone.

 

As more teams generate tokens programmatically (and increasingly with LLMs), being able to automate the insertion and update of variables and text styles natively would save a significant amount of repetitive setup work.

 

Is this something being considered for the core product?

thanks in advance </3
