## What it is
ScrollReveal is a lightweight JavaScript library (5.7 kB min+gzip) for animating DOM elements as they scroll into view, using CSS transitions and transforms. It provides a simple singleton API where you call ScrollReveal().reveal() with CSS selectors to create scroll-triggered reveal effects.

## Use cases
- animate elements as they scroll into view
- add fade-in effects to page sections on scroll
- create scroll-triggered reveal animations without heavy dependencies
- make landing pages more dynamic with entrance animations
- reveal cards or images progressively while scrolling
- add subtle motion to a website without a full animation framework

## When to choose
- you want tiny, dependency-free scroll animations in plain JavaScript or any framework
- you need simple declarative reveal effects via CSS selectors
- you want a mature library with a stable API and extensive documentation

## When to avoid
- you need complex timeline-based or physics-based animation choreography
- you require an MIT or permissive license for redistribution (ScrollReveal is GPLv3 with paid commercial options)
- you need scroll-linked (scrubbed) animations rather than one-time reveal triggers

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: animation, ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
