A lightweight, dependency-free vanilla JavaScript plugin that animates scrolling to anchor links on a page. It is now deprecated in favor of the native CSS `scroll-behavior: smooth` property.
Use cases
- animate scrolling to anchor links
- smooth scroll navigation on a static website
- add smooth scrolling without jQuery or dependencies
- scroll to section with easing options
- implement one-page navigation with animated scrolling
When to choose
- you must support very old browsers that lack CSS scroll-behavior support
- you need easing or speed controls the native CSS approach doesn't offer
- you're maintaining a legacy site already using the plugin
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use the native CSS `scroll-behavior: smooth` instead
- you need cross-page anchor scrolling, which the plugin doesn't support
- you want actively maintained software with bug fixes
