## What it is
A collection of lightweight loading icons and small animations built with pure SVG (SMIL), usable via simple img tags or inline SVG. Color is customizable through the SVG fill attribute.

## Use cases
- add a loading spinner to a webpage
- find lightweight animated loading icons
- replace GIF spinners with SVG animations
- customize loading indicator colors
- show a loading animation without JavaScript or CSS

## When to choose
- you need tiny, dependency-free loading animations
- you want to style spinner colors via SVG fill
- your target browsers support animated SVG (SMIL)

## When to avoid
- you need to support browsers without SMIL animation support
- you want React components out of the box (use the community adaptation)
- you need complex or highly configurable loading states

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