Flexible
- Animate any property without waiting for explicit support via custom callbacks.
- Seamless hand-off between user input, animation and physics.
- Work with your favourite technology or framework (DOM, Node, jQuery, Canvas, Three.js, WebSockets etc).
Extendable
Develop your own:
- Easing: Easing functions and bezier curves.
- Physics: Add new physics simulators.
- Element types: Handle different types of element (DOM, Canvas shapes etc) with the same API.
- Value types: Automatically split special values in child values (ie
"#000"->{ Red: 0, Green: 0, Blue: 0, Alpha: 1 }. - Input: Create custom Input interfaces for Oculus/Leap/anything.
- Value routes: Output values of a certain type (ie attr, css) in a standardised way.
Peformant
- Uses and exposes a single requestAnimationFrame thread.
- Never hits the DOM, leaving you in total control of performance.
- Over 20% smaller than Velocity.js, 72% smaller than GreenSock TweenMax. Boom shak shakalaka.
