Lottie: Establishing an Open Standard for Vector Animation
Talkat Open Source Summit Europe 2025 · on Monday, 2025-08-25· at 16:55· Elicium 2B (Elicium Level 1)·
summary
Lottie 1.0 becomes a formal, vendor-neutral JSON-based animation spec published through the Linux Foundation with a machine-readable JSON schema, human docs and ongoing registration for an internet media type and file extension .lottie. The community preserves backward compatibility so existing Bodymovin/airbnb players still run, provides validation tools that check editor output against player profiles, and coordinates cross-platform renderers (Skia, web canvas/SVG, mobile) while planning 1.1 features: interactivity, accessibility markers, layer effects and richer text support.
