Motion in React
summary
Compares concrete implementations: use CSS transitions/keyframes for simple cases and keep to opacity/transform for performance; use requestAnimationFrame when you need JS control; Netflix TV UI forces JavaScript-only animation so experiments prioritize image prioritization and 3D render hooks; demonstrates libraries and patterns — Popmotion for ref-based imperative anims, react-pose (with styled-components) or react-motion for component-driven springs, mentions Web Animations API and Houdini as emerging low-level browser tools.
