## What it is
AniJS is a small JavaScript library (~8kb gzipped) that lets you add CSS3 animations and UI interactions using declarative data-anijs HTML attributes, with no third-party dependencies. It works across modern browsers and mobile devices, enabling designers to build animated UI components without writing code.

## Use cases
- add css animations to html elements without javascript
- trigger animation on click or scroll
- build animated ui components like tabs and modals
- declarative scroll reveal animations
- animate elements on mouseover
- let designers add interactions without coding

## When to choose
- you want declarative, attribute-based CSS3 animations with zero dependencies
- designers need to add interactions without writing JavaScript
- you need a tiny animation library for modern browsers and mobile

## When to avoid
- you need complex JavaScript-driven animation timelines or physics-based motion
- you use a modern framework with its own animation ecosystem (e.g. Framer Motion, GSAP)
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: css3-animations, declarative, data-attributes, no-dependencies, javascript
