Lottie Docs is the official resource for Lottie, a library that renders Adobe After Effects animations in real time on any native platform. It allows applications to use animations as easily as they use static images. The library parses JSON files exported from After Effects via the Bodymovin extension and renders them natively on mobile and the web.
This method offers significant advantages over using GIFs or other image formats. Lottie animations are vector-based, meaning they are small in file size and can be scaled to any size without pixelation or loss of quality. This makes them perfect for creating responsive and high-performance user interfaces.
