What is Velocity.js?
Velocity is an animation engine that provides a familiar API similar to jQuery's $.animate() functionality. It can be used with or without the jQuery library, offering the flexibility to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of web projects. Velocity's core strength lies in its exceptional performance, delivering silky-smooth animations that outpace traditional CSS transitions. Beyond basic movement, the engine supports an array of advanced animation capabilities, including color manipulation, transforms, looping, customizable easing functions, and even SVG path animation. Leveraging the best aspects of both jQuery and native CSS transitions, Velocity empowers designers and developers to craft sophisticated motion experiences with a concise, intuitive codebase
