About

Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) is a discontinued multimedia software platform for creating animations and interactive apps.

Lottie is an animation framework created by Airbnb that lets developers export Adobe After Effects animations as JSON and render them natively on mobile, desktop, and the web.

It supports scalable vector animations with small file sizes, real-time playback and interactive control, cross-platform SDKs for iOS, Android, React Native, and web, dynamic property manipulation at runtime, and performance optimizations that use native rendering where available.
