Production animation library for React with a declarative API.
Why we recommend it
It makes real interface motion approachable in code — layout animations and gestures that would otherwise be very hard.
Strengths
- Declarative, readable animation API
- Automatic layout animations
- Free and open source
Drawbacks
- React only
- Bundle size matters on small sites
