Lax.js is a lightweight (<4kb gzipped) vanilla JavaScript library for creating smooth scroll-driven animations and parallax effects. It supports custom drivers (scroll, mouse, time) and CSS property bindings with easings and presets.
Use cases
- add parallax scrolling effects to a website
- animate elements as the user scrolls
- create scroll-linked CSS animations without a framework
- drive animations from mouse position or other inputs
- add inertia effects to scrolling animations
- build lightweight scroll effects without jQuery
When to choose
- you need a tiny, dependency-free scroll animation library
- you want simple parallax or scroll effects on a static site
- you prefer vanilla JavaScript over heavy animation frameworks
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with bug fixes
- you require advanced animation timelines like GSAP
- you need framework-specific animation integrations with official support
