Packages in this category

jQuery: JavaScript library for DOM operations
Dojo Toolkit: Dojo core is a powerful, lightweight library that makes common tasks quicker and easier. Animate elements, manipulate the DOM, and query with easy CSS syntax, all without sacrificing performance.
Velocity.js: Accelerated JavaScript animation.
Anime.js: JavaScript animation engine
jQuery Migrate: Migrate older jQuery code to jQuery 4.x

Check which interactions you need: DOM manipulation, animation timelines, scrolling, or drag-and-drop.
Review required browser APIs and whether code can be imported safely in your server-rendering environment.
Inspect whether the package requires a companion library such as jQuery.
Look for documented accessibility and reduced-motion behavior rather than treating animation support as a single checkbox.
