What are the performance differences between popular animation libraries?

The performance of animation libraries can vary significantly based on factors like rendering speed, CPU/GPU usage, and ease of use. Libraries like GSAP are known for their high performance, while others like Anime.js offer great flexibility. Are you looking for a specific use case?

Yes, I'm interested in web animations for a large-scale application.

For large-scale applications, GSAP is often recommended due to its performance and ability to handle complex animations smoothly. However, if you need lightweight animations, consider using CSS animations or libraries like Lottie for vector animations.

How do I choose the right library for my project?

Consider factors like the complexity of your animations, the size of your application, and the performance requirements. Testing a few libraries with your specific use case can also help you make the best choice.

Can you provide some examples of projects using these libraries?

Sure! Many popular websites and applications use GSAP for animations, including GreenSock's own website. Lottie is widely used in mobile apps for smooth vector animations, like in the Airbnb app.
