Typed.js is a JavaScript library that animates text as if it were being typed, with configurable typing speed, backspacing, and looping through multiple strings. It works in the browser via script tag or bundler, and includes React support.

Use cases

• add a typewriter effect to a hero heading
• animate text typing on a landing page
• cycle through multiple phrases with typing and backspacing
• create a typing animation in a React component
• make a terminal-style typing effect on a website

When to choose

• you want a polished, battle-tested typing animation with minimal setup
• you need React integration or ESM/CDN usage
• you want configurable speed, looping, and smart backspacing out of the box

When to avoid

• you need a GPL-incompatible commercial license without purchasing one
• you need complex text animations beyond typing/backspacing effects
• your project requires an MIT-licensed dependency
