About

Animate.css is a cross-browser library of ready-to-use CSS animations that developers can add to web projects by applying simple animation classes.

It includes a wide variety of predefined effects such as attention seekers, entrances and exits like fade and slide, utility modifiers for delay, speed, and repetition, support for CSS custom properties to adjust duration and iteration, and fallbacks for older browsers.

GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform) is an open-source JavaScript animation library that enables developers to create high-performance, cross-browser animations for HTML elements, CSS properties, SVG, canvas, and JavaScript objects.

It includes a fast, low-level tweening engine with advanced timeline sequencing, custom easing, motion paths, and optional plugins such as ScrollTrigger and Draggable for scroll-based and interactive effects.
