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.

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.
