Animation libraries for clojurescript?

[Mark Engelberg]

Are there any javascript 2D animation libraries that are particularly well-suited for use from clojurescript?

I'm especially interested in a library that uses a scenegraph to store graphical objects in hierarchical relationships to one another.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi,

I have looked at quite a few Javascript 2D graphics libraries. The ones I found particularly interesing are paper.js[1] and fabric.js[2]. At least paper.js is in active development and works fine with ClojureScript.

Depending on your requirements SVG might also be a good alternative. I've found that SVG + one of the new React based CLJS wrapper libs is an excellent fit (see my experiments in reagent[3] and om[4]). There are also js libs for working with SVG such as Raphael[5] and the newer Snap.svg[6] (which is by the same author as Raphael).
