Motion One is a JavaScript animation library (monorepo of packages like motion, @motionone/dom, @motionone/easing) providing a hybrid engine that combines the Web Animations API with a JavaScript fallback for springs, gestures, and scroll-linked effects. It is the predecessor of the broader Motion library (formerly Framer Motion), which supports React, JavaScript, and Vue.

Use cases

• animate dom elements with javascript
• add scroll-triggered fade-in animations to a website
• create spring physics animations in react
• animate layout changes when a list reorders
• build drag and press gesture interactions
• create parallax scroll-linked effects
• animate svg path drawing
• add exit animations when elements leave the dom

When to choose

• you need performant, hardware-accelerated web animations with a tiny footprint
• you want declarative animation APIs integrated with React or Vue state
• you need scroll-linked, gesture, or layout animations beyond what CSS transitions offer
• you want a free MIT-licensed alternative to GSAP

When to avoid

• you only need simple self-contained hover or color transitions, where plain CSS is lighter
• you need server-side or non-browser animation
• you require a framework other than React, Vue, or vanilla JS
