ANIMATION AND EFFECTS

Animation and other visual effects have become a big part of web development. Getting smooth animation out of web pages can be a difficult task, and several library developers have stepped up to provide easy-to-use and smooth animation and effects. Many of the general JavaScript libraries mentioned previously also feature animation.

D3

Easily the most popular animation library, D3 (for “Data Driven Documents”) is the most robust and powerful JavaScript data visualization tool in use today. It has an intensely deep featureset, covering canvas, SVG, CSS, and HTML5 visualizations. The library gives you the capability to control the final rendering with extreme precision.

three.js

three.js is one of the most popular WebGL libraries available. It offers a lightweight API that allows you to perform complex 3D renderings and animations.
