"Best JavaScript library for Web Animations"

5/5

What do you like best about GreenSock Animation Platform?

Greensock is best for interactive web animations. When I use CSS-only animation on a website, it is hard to sequence a complex animation but with the help of GSAP's timeline feature, I can easily create, sequence, and maintain any complex animation on the website. Animation on SVG's is more convenient and performance-oriented. The best part about this library which also makes a difference from other animations libraries out there is that it is very focused on performance and cross-browser compatibility. This library has plenty of good additional plugins which make it more advanced and easy to use. With the ScrollTrigger Plugin, I can easily make beautiful scroll reveal animations and custom scrollbars, and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GreenSock Animation Platform?

Although there is nothing much to say bad about this library, one thing I want to mention is that Greensock also has paid plans for some plugins but I am not that satisfied with the prices of paid plans. I think they are very expensive for a normal web developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GreenSock Animation Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Greensock Animation Platform I can make responsive animations which makes a website more interactive, visually appealing, and user-centric. With the use of the GSAP ScrollTrigger Plugin, I can tell a story to my user with beautiful scroll animations. It saves me a lot of time while coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
