## What it is
Torph is a dependency-free animated text morphing component that smoothly transitions between text strings. It ships adapters for React, Vue, Svelte, and vanilla JavaScript, with physics-based spring easing support.

## Use cases
- animate text changes in a react component
- morph text smoothly when values update
- add spring-based text transitions without dependencies
- animated text for vue or svelte apps
- smoothly swap status labels like 'Processing' to 'Done'
- create animated headline text on a website

## When to choose
- you need text morphing animations in React, Vue, Svelte, or vanilla JS
- you want a tiny dependency-free animation component
- you want physics-based spring easing for text transitions

## When to avoid
- you need to animate complex layouts or elements, not just text
- you need a full animation library like Framer Motion or GSAP
- your project does not use any of the supported frameworks or vanilla JS
