## What it is
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
