## What it is
Move.js is a small JavaScript library that makes CSS3-backed animations simple and elegant through a fluent, chainable API. It supports transforms like translate, rotate, scale, and skew, plus built-in easing functions and sequenced animations.

## Use cases
- animate dom elements with css3 transitions
- chain css animations with easing functions
- translate rotate and scale elements in javascript
- create sequenced animations with then()
- simple css3 animation without heavy frameworks

## When to choose
- you need a tiny dependency-free animation helper for simple css3 transitions
- you want a chainable api for transforms and easing in a legacy browser project

## When to avoid
- you need a modern, actively maintained animation library
- you need javascript-driven frame-by-frame animation or spring physics
- your project uses modern frameworks with built-in animation tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: animation, css-framework, ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: css3, animation-library, easing-functions, javascript, nodejs
