GreenSock Animation Platform
GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform) is a professional-grade JavaScript animation library. It's widely regarded as one of the most robust and performant tools for creating animations on the web. It animates anything JavaScript can touch (CSS properties, canvas library objects, SVG, generic objects, whatever) and it solves countless browser inconsistencies, all with blazing speed, including automatic GPU-acceleration of transforms. It's FREE even for commercial uses as of April 2025.
Lottie
Lottie is an open-source library developed by Airbnb that enables the rendering of Adobe After Effects animations in real time on various platforms, including iOS, Android, and React Native. By converting animations into JSON files using the Bodymovin plugin, Lottie allows developers to integrate complex animations into their applications as effortlessly as adding static images. This approach eliminates the need for extensive manual coding, streamlining the animation implementation process and enhancing user experience.
