## What it is
Animate Plus is a lightweight JavaScript animation library (under 3 KB) for animating DOM elements, CSS, and SVG with a promise-based API. It focuses on performance, targeting a steady 60 FPS, especially on mobile.

## Use cases
- animate dom elements with javascript
- css and svg animation library
- staggered element animations with per-element delays
- custom easing curves like elastic animations
- lightweight animation library for mobile web
- chained sequential animations with promises

## When to choose
- you need a tiny, dependency-free animation library under 3 KB
- you want promise-based chaining of animations
- you need per-element duration/delay control via callbacks
- you target mobile performance at 60 FPS

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured animation suite like GSAP with timelines and plugins
- you require scroll-triggered or physics-based animations out of the box
- you need a framework-integrated animation system (e.g., React Spring)
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases
