- Lottie is an open-source vector graphics animation file format created in 2015 by Hernan Torrisi for exporting animations from Adobe After Effects.
- Lottie animations are created in Adobe After Effects and exported as JSON files containing keyframes, easing curves, and layer information.
- Vector graphics are resolution-independent images made from geometric shapes like curves and lines.
- Tweening is the process of animating graphics by defining properties at keyframes, with frames in between interpolated automatically.
- Lottie has a rich ecosystem with creation tools, libraries, and free assets, trusted by thousands of companies.
- Lottie is an open standard based on JSON, making it easy to transfer and manipulate.
- The Lottie Animation Community (LAC) is a non-profit open-source project hosted by The Linux Foundation, dedicated to standardizing and promoting Lottie.
- LAC aims to develop a formal Lottie format specification and ensure widespread adoption as an industry standard.
- LAC operates under the Joint Development Foundation, ensuring transparency and community involvement in the development of the Lottie format.
