What it does
GreenSock's official skill for the GSAP core API: gsap.to(), from() and fromTo(), common vars, transform aliases (x, y, scale, rotation, autoAlpha), staggers, built-in and custom eases, defaults, function-based and relative values, and gsap.matchMedia() for breakpoints and reduced motion. It closes with GSAP's own best practices and a do-not list, such as preferring transforms over layout properties and setting immediateRender: false when stacking from() tweens on one property. GSAP is HyperFrames' default animation runtime, so this is the motion vocabulary of most HTML-to-video compositions.
Use when
- Tweens, eases and staggers for DOM or SVG animation
- Picking an animation library for an HTML or React video
- Responsive or reduced-motion variants with gsap.matchMedia()
Not for
- Sequencing many steps (use GSAP Timeline)
- Text splitting, SVG morphing or motion paths (use GSAP Plugins)
- Scroll-linked web animation (GSAP's ScrollTrigger skill)
