## What it is
KUTE.js is a modular JavaScript animation engine for modern browsers, built on ES6+ with TypeScript definitions. It supports tweening CSS properties, HTML attributes, and SVG features like transforms, stroke drawing, and path morphing.

## Use cases
- animate css properties in javascript
- svg path morphing animation
- tween numbers for countdowns
- animate svg transforms and strokes
- custom easing animations in the browser
- lightweight javascript animation library

## When to choose
- you need high-performance tween-based animations beyond what CSS transitions can do
- you want modular components for SVG, colors, or text animations
- you prefer a small, dependency-light vanilla JavaScript library

## When to avoid
- you want a full declarative animation framework like GSAP timelines or Framer Motion
- your project is React-centric and prefers component-based animation APIs
- you need physics-based or scroll-linked animation out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: animation, ui-components
- domain: frontend, web-development, graphics
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: tweening, svg-animation, easing-functions, css-animation, path-morphing, nodejs
