Lottie animations run on Android, iOS, and the web. Getting them working on the JVM is a different story. Lottie4J<\/a> started as a question: can JavaFX render them without a WebView? That question turned into a library with a first release in March 2026! Since then, I received the first pull requests, recently added headless unit testing with JavaFX 26, and now this: a video conversation with Naail from the LottieFiles team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got to sit down with Naail Abdul Rahman<\/a>, R&D engineer at LottieFiles, the company behind the Lottie animation platform. We talked about where the format came from, where it is going, and what that means for a Java implementation like Lottie4J.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
