## What it is
Flippant.js is a tiny, dependency-free JavaScript library for flipping over DOM nodes with CSS 3D transforms. It provides a single `flippant.flip` function that creates a back element (card or modal mode) which can be customized via CSS classes.

## Use cases
- flip a card over to show details on the back
- create a modal that flips in from an element
- add 3D flip animations to DOM elements without a framework
- show extra content when a user clicks a tile
- customize flip animations with my own CSS classes

## When to choose
- you need a minimal, zero-dependency flip effect
- you want full CSS customization of the animation
- you're adding card/modal flips to a plain JavaScript site

## When to avoid
- you need a full UI component framework
- you need animations beyond flipping
- you need actively maintained software with a license

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: dom-flip, zero-dependency, css-animations, card-flip, modal, javascript
