How does React Spring differ from Framer Motion in the way it creates animations?

React Spring is based on physics, meaning you describe how something should move using spring settings like tension and friction rather than a fixed duration. This often looks more natural because the animation speeds up and slows down the way real physical objects do. Framer Motion is easier to start with, while React Spring gives more fine control over the feel of the motion.

import { useSpring, animated } from '@react-spring/web';

function SpringBox() {
  const styles = useSpring({ opacity: 1, from: { opacity: 0 } });
  return <animated.div style={styles}>Hello there</animated.div>;
}
