GSAP Timeline vs CSS Animations

What's the difference between GSAP timelines and CSS animations?

GSAP timelines offer more control and flexibility for complex animations, while CSS animations are simpler and easier for basic effects.

Can you give me an example of when to use GSAP over CSS animations?

Use GSAP when you need precise timing, sequencing, or when animating multiple elements together. For simple hover effects, CSS is sufficient.

Are there performance differences between the two?

Yes, GSAP is optimized for performance and can handle more complex animations without lag, especially on lower-end devices.

Is it possible to combine both GSAP and CSS animations?

Absolutely! You can use CSS for simple transitions and GSAP for more intricate animations, allowing for a hybrid approach.

What are some common use cases for GSAP?

Common use cases include interactive web applications, complex UI animations, and games where precise control over animations is required.
