GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform) is a framework-agnostic JavaScript animation library for animating CSS, SVG, canvas, WebGL, and generic objects with high performance across all major browsers. It includes a plugin ecosystem such as ScrollTrigger, SplitText, MorphSVG, and Flip, and is now entirely free thanks to Webflow's support.

Use cases

• animate dom elements with javascript
• create scroll-based animations on a website
• animate svg path drawing and morphing
• build smooth animation sequences and timelines in react
• add parallax and smooth scrolling effects
• animate text splitting and scramble effects
• create flip layout transitions

When to choose

• you need high-performance, cross-browser animations with zero dependencies
• you want advanced sequencing, easing, and scroll-driven effects with minimal code
• you need framework-agnostic animation that works with React, Vue, Webflow, or plain JS
• you want a mature, battle-tested library used on millions of production sites

When to avoid

• you only need simple CSS transitions or keyframe animations without JS
• you require an OSI-approved open-source license for strict compliance policies
• you want a declarative, CSS-only animation approach
• your project is non-web (native mobile/desktop) where web animation libraries don't apply
