10 Notable JavaScript Animation Frameworks

Posted in Scripts | On 24th January 2010 | 6 Comments

Javascript is one of the most supported and popular programming languages, most browsers can easily handle it and it can be gracefully degraded for browsers or computers that don’t support Javascript.

Because of its flexibility, popularity and relatively small size Javascript has been used to create animation frameworks to allow you to create smooth effects and transitions for example.

Below are 10 animation frameworks that are well worth a mention, each framework has great documentation and examples on the author site, I didn’t feel a summary for each would do these any justice.

Burst Engine

$fx()

Glimmer

GX

jsAnim

moo.fx

Pixastic

    Some of these libraries were a bit buggy for me, not to mention jQuery amongst others were not on the list.
