What is Lotti Animation?

Lottie is a library for Android, iOS, Web, and Windows that parses adobe after-effect animations exported as JSON with body moving and renders them natively on mobile and on the web!

A Lottie is a JSON-based animation file format that can be used on any platform in the same way that static assets can. They are small files that can be scaled up and down without pixelation on any device. The best part is that Lottie animations don’t require any coding skills!  

Why do Lotties play everywhere?

• Plays Across the Board

The Lottie web player runs on any browser that supports modern Javascript, meaning that Lotties can play on any modern browser. Because most recent software development kits support dynamic web content, this simplifies the integration of Lotties into any desktop/notebook program.

• Portable and easy to maintain

Lottie animations are saved as plain text and are thus readable by humans. As a result, employing Lotties to create application interfaces cuts down on debugging time and total deployment time. Without the use of specialist software tools, plain text Lottie files are also easy to maintain and fine-tune.

• Dynamic

Because the data in Lottie is in JSON format, it may be easily modified or altered at various degrees of granularity, from fractional values to big portions of objects. Additionally, the replacement content can be dynamically loaded from any location. As a result, Lottie is currently the most used animated graphics format in the world.

• Scalable

Modern communication technologies enable enterprises to scale up to volumes that necessitate a variety of data storage and retrieval advances. Because traditional graphical material is hefty, these companies use them sparingly in the development of user interfaces for their apps. Too many graphics may result in unacceptably high storage and retrieval costs, especially when searching and sorting data contextually.

The use of Lottie files in large-scale solutions can reduce the costs of storing and contextually sorting/searching graphics content. Using Lotties can also reduce transport costs due to their inherent dynamism – applications need only load the components of a Lottie animation that need updating at any given time.

• Intuitive Content Workflow

Lottie is currently made by exporting an Adobe After Effects animation into a Lottie file. This implies that existing Adobe After Effects users can utilize the LottieFiles Plugin to create Lottie material right away. 

Once you are satisfied with your Lottie content, you can start incorporating them into your applications. LottieFiles provides a link to the latest version of the raw Lottie file so that it can be loaded into your applications at runtime.

Wrap Up-

When you employ Lotties in your applications, you’ll get quick, dynamic, and stunning user interfaces. Your application’s hosted component’s storage requirements would be drastically decreased, and your customer’s bandwidth use would be drastically cut.
