## What it is
Space.js is an HTML-driven JavaScript library for creating narrative 3D-scrolling experiences on websites. Users define scroll-driven frames and transitions purely through HTML attributes and CSS classes, without writing JavaScript.

## Use cases
- create a 3D scrolling story page
- add scroll-triggered animations to a website
- build a narrative presentation with scrolling frames
- make a parallax-style landing page
- animate sections as the user scrolls
- create a scrollytelling experience without writing JavaScript

## When to choose
- you want scroll-driven 3D transitions configured entirely in HTML
- you need a lightweight library for narrative or scrollytelling pages
- you want predefined and custom CSS-like transitions for frame entry and exit

## When to avoid
- you need production-grade, actively maintained scroll animation software (the README marks it as beta)
- you need modern framework integration like React or Vue components
- you require advanced scroll features like scroll-linked timelines or smooth scrolling beyond frame transitions

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, frontend-framework, ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: browser
- tags: 3d-scrolling, narrative-scrolling, scroll-animations, html-driven, jquery, storytelling, web-server
