EDITOR'S TAKE

Lightweight JavaScript animation engine. ~66k stars. Great for SVG and DOM animation without React-specific bindings. Smaller community than GSAP, but the API is approachable and the bundle is tiny.

Use this if

You want a small, framework-agnostic animation library for marketing sites or vanilla JS projects.

Skip if

You are in React — Motion is more idiomatic, similar bundle size, larger community.
