## What it is
A React Native library for rendering Lottie and DotLottie animations using Skia's GPU-accelerated Skottie module. It offers significantly better frame rates and lower CPU usage than lottie-react-native by building on @shopify/react-native-skia.

## Use cases
- play lottie animations in react native with better performance
- render dotlottie files on mobile
- reduce cpu usage of animations in a react native app
- improve animation frame rates on low-end android devices
- control animation playback imperatively or with reanimated

## When to choose
- your React Native app already uses react-native-skia and needs performant Lottie playback
- lottie-react-native causes dropped frames or high CPU on low-end devices
- you need DotLottie (.lottie) file support

## When to avoid
- your app does not use or want the react-native-skia dependency
- you only need simple animations where lottie-react-native suffices
- you need Lottie features not covered by Skottie
