Familiar Syntax Without jQuery Dependency
Velocity.js provides an animation API syntactically similar to jQuery's animate method, letting developers already familiar with that pattern animate SVG elements without actually requiring jQuery as a dependency, while also delivering notably better animation performance than jQuery's own built-in animation engine.
