Lottie under the hood
Actually, that's not entirely accurate. The lottie-web library itself doesn't support rendering to WebGL. However, there is a package called canvaskit-wasm that wraps Skia (a graphics engine) with WebAssembly (wasm). This package includes a module called skottie which supports rendering animations into a WebGL surface. However, there is a drawback with this approach: using wasm requires loading a relatively large package, and it's uncertain whether all features are supported correctly, as the official compatibility table that tracks lottie support on different platforms does not include skottie.

Due to popular demand, here’s part 2
The imgs are mainly used by Tencent QQ and Baidu Tieba users. QQ and Tieba compress imgs by default, so the popular imgs (in China we call them "屌图" or "表情包") would be compressed million of times during the spreading, causing the super low quality. These APPs on Android are using Skia for image processing, which suffering from a legendary bug: result would be more green. The bug was fixed in 2016: https://github.com/google/skia/commit/c7d01d3e1d3621907c27b283fb7f8b6e177c629d

Can't make my mind about which engine to use
libGDX is great, but I can understand if it's not for some people. This also applies to love2d, raylib and Monogame
