GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform)
What it does
GSAP is a high-performance JavaScript animation library for crafting smooth, precise motion on the web. It animates CSS, SVG, canvas, and arbitrary numeric properties, and works seamlessly within modern app architectures. Powerful tools like Timelines, ScrollTrigger, motion paths, and staggered animations make complex sequences easy to build and control.
Why developers choose it
GSAP is engineered for speed and consistency, minimizing layout thrashing and delivering jank-free experiences across browsers. Its expressive, chainable API provides fine-grained control—play, pause, reverse, scrub, callbacks, and labels—plus robust TypeScript types and thorough documentation. A mature plugin ecosystem, including optional Club GreenSock plugins, unlocks morphing, text splitting, and advanced effects.
Where it fits
Use GSAP for hero transitions, micro-interactions, scroll-driven storytelling, and data visualization motion. It integrates with React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, and Next.js, and pairs well with canvas/WebGL stacks like Three.js. GSAP scales from small UI touches to complex, maintainable animation systems.
