## What it is
Motion is a Swift library for creating fluid animations and transitions for iOS views, layers, and view controllers. It provides a motionIdentifier-based linking system for shared-element transitions plus built-in push, slide, zoom, cover, page, and fade transitions.

## Use cases
- animate transitions between ios view controllers
- create shared element transitions in swift
- add material design style animations to ios app
- transition views with translate rotate scale arc effects
- custom uinavigationcontroller push animations
- smooth ui animations for ios views and layers

## When to choose
- building an iOS app in Swift that needs polished view and view controller transitions
- you want shared-element style transitions with minimal code
- you prefer a declarative motionIdentifier-based animation API

## When to avoid
- targeting platforms other than iOS or using languages other than Swift
- the project needs actively maintained dependencies, as the last release was in 2020
- you need cross-platform Flutter, React Native, or Android animations
