If any of you are flash developers you know about Greensock. I'm not one but I work with a few so I've heard about it. It has been the best animation library in flash for years. Recently, about two months ago Greensock released a JavaScript framework.

 

Greensock is 20x faster at animations than jQuery. It also can do things you could never do with CSS3 transitions .

 

You can see the JavaScript library here. And yes, you can use it with jQuery. I would use jQuery for your DOM selectors, or anything else you like, and Greeksock for animation.

 

It's as easy as:

 

new TweenLite($("#some-div"), 2, {width:200, height:150});

If you'd like to run speed tests on many different frameworks vs Greensock look here.

 

With all that said, jQuery is great to use but not for animation when you have the likes of Greensock in the arena.
