Web Animations API

The Web Animations API allows for synchronizing and timing changes to the presentation of a Web page, i.e., animation of DOM elements. It does so by combining two models: the Timing Model and the Animation Model.

The Web Animations API provides a common language for browsers and developers to describe animations on DOM elements. To get more information on the concepts behind the API and how to use it, read Using the Web Animations API .

Blinking and flashing animation can be problematic for people with cognitive concerns such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Additionally, certain kinds of motion can be a trigger for Vestibular disorders, epilepsy, and migraine, and Scotopic sensitivity.

Consider providing a mechanism for pausing or disabling animation, as well as using the Reduced Motion Media Query (or equivalent user agent client hint Sec-CH-Prefers-Reduced-Motion ) to create a complementary experience for users who have expressed a preference for no animated experiences.
