Choreographer-js vs. JavaScript vs. Preact vs. mLIMS Comparison Chart

A simple library to take care of complicated animations. You can also add custom functions that do non-CSS animations! Install and save to your package.json, and include it in your Javascript. Brew up some instant scroll animations. Animate based on scroll location, animate based on mouse X location and create multiple animations based on mouse X location. Now you can create an instance of Choreographer, and run the animations based on whatever measurement floats your boat (ex. scroll position, mouse position, timestamp, whatever). The easiest way to understand how this all works is to check out the examples. Bugs will occur if you overlap animation ranges that affect the same style properties! There are two built-in animation functions available, called 'scale' and 'change'. Progress is what allows for progressive scaling of values (ex. smooth fading of opacity, 2d translation, etc.) If the value is between 0 and 1, that means you are within a range.

Preact provides the thinnest possible Virtual DOM abstraction on top of the DOM. It builds on stable platform features, registers real event handlers and plays nicely with other libraries. Most UI frameworks are large enough to be the majority of an app's JavaScript size. Preact is different: it's small enough that your code is the largest part of your application. That means less JavaScript to download, parse and execute - leaving more time for your code, so you can build an experience you define without fighting to keep a framework under control. Preact is fast, and not just because of its size. It's one of the fastest Virtual DOM libraries out there, thanks to a simple and predictable diff implementation. We automatically batch updates and tune Preact to the extreme when it comes to performance. We work closely with browser engineers to get the maximum performance possible out of Preact.
