About
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.
jQuery is a fast, small, feature-rich JavaScript library designed to simplify
HTML DOM tree traversal and manipulation, event handling,
CSS animations, and Ajax.
It provides a cross-browser selector engine, formerly known as Sizzle, supports deferred and promise objects for asynchronous workflows, has built-in JSON parsing and utility functions, and allows extensibility through a large ecosystem of plugins.
