## What it is
Orbital is a Jetpack Compose Multiplatform animation library for implementing dynamic transitions such as shared element transitions, movement, and transformation animations. It supports Android, iOS, Desktop, macOS, and JS via Kotlin Multiplatform.

## Use cases
- implement shared element transitions in Jetpack Compose
- animate view transformations and resizing in Compose
- create smooth movement animations between composables
- add dynamic transition animations to a Kotlin Multiplatform app
- animate elements across navigation screens in Compose

## When to choose
- you're building a Jetpack Compose or Compose Multiplatform app and need shared element transitions
- you want declarative movement/transformation animations with minimal boilerplate
- you need animations that work across Android, iOS, and desktop targets

## When to avoid
- your project doesn't use Jetpack Compose
- you need a battle-tested, stable animation library for production-critical apps
- you target platforms outside the supported Kotlin Multiplatform targets

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: experimental
- function: animation
- domain: mobile-development, frontend, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: jetpack-compose, kotlin-multiplatform, shared-element-transitions, ui-animation, android, ios, desktop, macos
