How can I create smooth transitions in CSS?

You can create smooth transitions in CSS using the transition property. This allows you to change property values smoothly over a specified duration.

Can you give me an example of how to use the transition property?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

.box {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  background-color: blue;
  transition: background-color 0.5s ease;
}

.box:hover {
  background-color: red;
}

When you hover over the box, the background color will transition smoothly from blue to red.

What other properties can I animate with transitions?

You can animate various properties like width, height, opacity, transform, and more. Just include them in the transition property.

Are there any performance considerations I should keep in mind?

Yes, it's best to animate properties that are GPU-accelerated, like transform and opacity, to ensure smoother performance.
