GSAP, or the GreenSock Animation Platform, is a powerful JavaScript library designed to create high-performance animations on the web. It is widely used by developers and designers to animate everything from simple DOM elements to complex SVG graphics and interactive UI components. GSAP's core features include robust cross-browser support, a simple and readable API, precise control over animation timing, and the ability to sequence and synchronize multiple animations with ease. One of the main reasons GSAP is so popular is its performance—animations run smoothly even on resource-constrained devices. Additionally, GSAP lets you animate any numeric property of DOM elements, such as position, scale, rotation, and opacity, making it highly versatile for a wide range of web animation tasks.

To understand how the tween animation works, start by selecting the element you want to animate—in this case, the box div is targeted using document.getElementById. The gsap.to method is then used to create a tween, which animates properties of the selected element over a specified duration. The properties object passed to gsap.to defines what will change: duration sets the length of the animation in seconds, x moves the element horizontally by 300 pixels, and opacity transitions the element's transparency to 0.3. As a result, when the script runs, the box smoothly shifts to the right and fades out, demonstrating how GSAP tweens can animate multiple properties at once with just a few lines of code.
