- Defines specific property changes at different points during an animation.
AnimationTimeline
- Manages the timing and synchronization of animations.
- Provides a timeline for sequencing and coordinating multiple animations.
AnimationEvent

Web API Animations
Web API Animations are all about making HTML elements (like buttons, images, and text) and their styles (like colors, sizes, and positions) change over time. Web API animations are tools that help change how things look and move on websites. They make elements like buttons, images, or text shift or transform over time. These animations work with various features like controlling the speed, timing, and style changes, offering a range of effects. They involve different parts, such as creating sets of changes called keyframes, providing timelines for these changes, and triggering events when animations start, end, or repeat.
These animations are vital in making websites more engaging and interactive. Developers use them to create smoother transitions, make elements move around, or modify colors and sizes dynamically. They are compatible with many popular web browsers, allowing websites to offer dynamic, visually appealing experiences across different platforms.
