"For a React frontend developer, implementing animations on webpages is an integral part of your daily work, from animating text or images to complex 3D animations. Animation can help improve the overall user experience of a React application. But with so many libraries available, it's hard to know which one to choose. Your animations might be hurting your performance more than you think."
"React Spring: Physics-based animations with spring dynamics (29k stars, 788k weekly downloads) Motion (formerly Framer Motion): Declarative animations with gestures and scroll support (30.7k stars, 3.6M weekly downloads) React Transition Group: Mounting/unmounting transitions; no longer maintained (10.3k stars, 20M weekly downloads) React Move: D3.js-powered animations for data visualization (6.6k stars, 88.6k weekly downloads) Remotion: Create videos programmatically with React (25.3k stars, 169.9k weekly downloads) Anime.js: Lightweight JavaScript engine for CSS, SVG, and timelines (66k stars, 319k weekly downloads)"
Seven popular React animation libraries are profiled with attention to features and usage patterns. React Spring offers physics-based spring dynamics while Motion (formerly Framer Motion) provides declarative APIs with gesture and scroll support. React Transition Group handles mounting/unmounting transitions but is no longer maintained. React Move targets D3-powered data-visualization animations. Remotion enables programmatic video creation with React. Anime.js supplies a lightweight engine for CSS, SVG, and timelines. Evaluations emphasize popularity, developer experience, readability, documentation, bundle size, and runtime performance. A nine-way benchmark includes CSS-first alternatives like native CSS and Tailwind CSS Motion for real-world comparison.
