## What it is
VAP (Video Animation Player) is a cross-platform library from Tencent's Penguin Esports for playing cool特效 animations using video with hardware decoding, offering high compression and particle effects compared to WebP, APNG, or Lottie. It supports Android, iOS, and Web, and can blend custom properties like usernames and avatars into animations.

## Use cases
- play gift animations in a live streaming app
- play small high-compression particle effect animations on mobile
- replace Lottie with hardware-decoded video animations
- overlay user names and avatars into animation effects
- play transparent-background video animations on iOS, Android, and Web

## When to choose
- you need complex animations with particle effects that Lottie cannot render
- asset size and hardware-accelerated decoding matter (e.g., gift effects in live streaming)
- you need the same animation player across Android, iOS, and Web

## When to avoid
- you need long-term maintained support - the repo is officially discontinued in favor of Tencent Cloud's gift animation service
- your animations are simple enough for Lottie or APNG
- you need Flutter support, which only the commercial successor offers

## Facets
- artifact type: library
