ExodeUI vs GSAP for React: The Showdown India Has Been Waiting For

React developers have always been second-class citizens with GSAP. ExodeUI flips this — React is the primary target. Your components arrive as clean hooks, not JSON blobs.

Bundle Size Reality

GSAP's runtime adds significant weight to your bundle. For a typical landing page with animations, GSAP can add 100KB+ gzipped. ExodeUI's runtime is a few KB — because it renders native DOM elements rather than canvas.

For Indian users on limited data plans, this difference matters. Faster loads, lower data costs, better experience — all from a tool swap.

React + GSAP = Complexity

Every React team that has integrated GSAP knows the pattern: add the runtime, write a wrapper component, manage the lifecycle, sync application state with animation state. It works, but it adds complexity that compounds with every component.

ExodeUI eliminates this. The component IS the state machine. Your React state and your component's visual state are one and the same — because ExodeUI compiles to React hooks.

Join the Movement

Hundreds of Indian teams have already switched from GSAP to ExodeUI. They're building faster, shipping more, and paying less. Start your migration today.
