This extension provides a way to convert P5.js sketches into Lottie file animations, streamlining the workflow for developers and designers who wish to integrate P5.js animations into web and mobile applications using the lightweight and scalable Lottie format.
Please note that the user interface for the conversion process is facilitated by this extension. However, the underlying conversion functionality is powered by a separate package, which can be found at p5js-to-lottie.
