## Description

AniJS is a JavaScript animation library and DOM element animation engine used to orchestrate visual transitions and motion effects on HTML elements. It functions as a tool for composing animated web components, such as modals and menus, to improve the visual flow of user interfaces.

The library utilizes a declarative approach to web interface animation, allowing for the application of visual styling and motion effects without requiring manual code for every transition. It enables the creation of interactive UI components that respond to user actions through a system of triggered element animations.

The framework manages these transitions through attribute-based configuration and declarative animation mapping, connecting trigger elements to target components. It employs event-driven mechanisms and CSS-driven state transitions to execute visual movements based on user interactions.
