## What it is
Walkway is a small JavaScript library for animating SVG line-drawing effects on path, line, and polyline elements. It provides configurable duration, easing functions, and completion callbacks with a simple constructor-based API.

## Use cases
- animate svg line drawing on page load
- create stroke animation for logos and icons
- recreate polygon-style svg path animations
- draw svg paths progressively with easing
- animate polyline elements in the browser

## When to choose
- you need lightweight svg stroke/line-drawing animations with minimal setup
- you want simple easing and duration options without a full animation framework
- your svg consists of path, line, or polyline elements

## When to avoid
- you need to animate fills, transforms, or non-stroke svg properties
- you need a general-purpose animation library like GSAP
- you require active development or long-term support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend, graphics
- platform: browser
- tags: svg, stroke-animation, line-drawing, javascript, easing-functions, nodejs
