Although Lottie already release 3.x with the full Swift-rewritten code, however, during the performance testing of demo project, the Lottie 3 render performance is 60% slower than Lottie 2, many animation can not render as 60 FPS, while Lottie 2 did. See compare result at here.

So, to provide better performance on user, this plugin was written to support Lottie 2 currently, until Lottie community fix the performance problem. Track the issue here.

If you really want Lottie 3 support, please checkout 1.x branch, which provide the Lottie 3 and fully written in Swift. Once Lottie 3 fix the performance issue, we will upgrade this plugin's major version to 1.0 and release with Lottie 3 support.

This Lottie plugin use a wrapper class LOTAnimatedImage because of SDWebImage's customization architecture design. Typically you should not care about this, however this can allows some advanced usage.

• Objective-C

LOTComposition *composition = [LOTComposition animationFromJSON:jsonDict]; LOTAnimatedImage *animatedImage = [[LOTAnimationImage alloc] initWithComposition:composition]; // Snapshot Lottie animation frame UIImage *posterFrame = [animatedImage animatedImageAtIndex:0];

let composition = LOTComposition(json: jsonDict) let animatedImage = LOTAnimationImage(composition: composition) // Snapshot Lottie animation frame UIImage *posterFrame = animatedImage.animatedImageFrame(at: 0)
