Lottie is a documentation repository that hosts unified reference material for animation libraries across multiple platforms.
The repository serves as the central documentation hub for Lottie, a system for rendering Adobe After Effects animations natively on different platforms. Rather than maintaining separate documentation for each platform implementation, this repository consolidates all guidance in markdown files that are dynamically rendered through docsify. This approach allows documentation updates to propagate immediately across the hosted site without requiring manual rebuilds or deployments.
Developers should use this repository if they need to understand how Lottie works across its ecosystem or contribute to its documentation. The repository is specifically designed for documentation contributions rather than for reporting issues or contributing code to the actual player libraries themselves. Those seeking to work on the Android, iOS, Web, or After Effects implementations should instead use the dedicated repositories for each platform. The documentation covers both official libraries maintained by Airbnb and numerous community-maintained implementations across frameworks like React Native, Qt, Xamarin, and others.
The project maintains a straightforward contribution workflow that accommodates both direct editing through GitHub's web interface and traditional forking approaches. Documentation changes are verified locally using docsify before submission, and approved contributions are reflected on the live site immediately. The repository's structure prioritizes accessibility for documentation contributors by eliminating build complexity and allowing markdown edits to directly drive the published content.
