+# Animation Support Feature Proposal
+
+This directory contains documentation for proposed Compose Animation support in Compose Remote Layout.
+
+## Overview
+
+In response to [Issue #XX], this proposal outlines how to add Compose Animation support for remote JSON-controlled UIs. The implementation leverages the existing Custom Nodes system to provide animation capabilities without breaking existing functionality.
+
+## What's Included
+
+### 1. User Documentation (`03-json-structure/08-animations.md`)
+Complete guide for end-users showing:
+- How to use AnimatedVisibility in JSON
+- How to use AnimatedContent for state transitions
+- Animated modifiers (size, color)
+- Practical examples with real-world use cases
+- Best practices for animation design
+
+### 2. Implementation Guide (`02-setup/06-implementing-animations.md`)
+Technical guide for developers showing:
+- How to implement animation custom nodes
+- Code examples for AnimatedVisibility, AnimatedContent, and more
+- Advanced state management with animations
+- Troubleshooting and performance considerations
+- Complete working examples
+
+### 3. Quick Start Guide (`02-setup/06a-quick-start-animations.md`)
+A fast-track guide to get animations working in under 10 minutes:
+- Step-by-step setup
+- Minimal code examples
+- Common patterns (loading states, accordions)
+- Troubleshooting tips
+
+## Implementation Approach
+
+The proposed solution uses the **Custom Nodes** system that's already built into Compose Remote Layout. This approach:
+
+✅ **No breaking changes** - Uses existing extension points
+✅ **Fully backward compatible** - Doesn't modify core library
+✅ **Flexible** - Users can implement exactly the animations they need
+✅ **Minimal maintenance** - Leverages standard Compose APIs
+✅ **Easy to adopt** - Can be added incrementally
+
+## Example Usage
+
+Once implemented, users can define animations in JSON:
+
+```json
+{
+  "animated_visibility": {
+    "visible": "{isExpanded}",
+    "enterType": "expandVertically",
+    "exitType": "shrinkVertically",
+    "children": [
+      {
+        "text": {
+          "content": "Animated content!"
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+And control them from code:
+
+```kotlin
+val bindsValue = BindsValue()
+bindsValue.setValue("isExpanded", "true")  // Triggers animation
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Server-Driven Animations**: Update animation behavior without app deployment
+2. **Consistent UX**: Define animations once, use across platforms
+3. **A/B Testing**: Test different animation styles remotely
+4. **Reduces App Size**: No need for multiple animation variations in app bundle
+5. **Easier Iteration**: Designers can tweak animations via JSON updates
+
+## Why This Approach?
+
+Rather than building animations directly into the core library, this proposal uses Custom Nodes because:
+
+1. **Flexibility**: Different apps need different animations
+2. **Performance**: Apps only include the animations they use
+3. **Maintenance**: No need to maintain animation code in core library
+4. **Learning**: Teaches developers how to extend the library
+5. **Future-Proof**: Easy to add new animation types as Compose evolves
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+This foundation enables future additions:
+
+- Animation presets library (community-contributed)
+- Visual animation builder tool
+- Animation performance profiling
+- Platform-specific animation optimizations
+
+## Getting Started
+
+To implement animations in your app:
+
+1. Read the [Quick Start Guide](docs/02-setup/06a-quick-start-animations.md)
+2. Follow the [Implementation Guide](docs/02-setup/06-implementing-animations.md)
+3. Reference [Animation Documentation](docs/03-json-structure/08-animations.md) for all options
+
+## Feedback Welcome
+
+This is a proposal. Feedback and suggestions are welcome to make animation support even better!
+
+---
+
+**Note**: This documentation represents a feature proposal. The actual implementation is left to app developers using the Custom Nodes system, ensuring maximum flexibility while maintaining the simplicity of the core library.

+# Implementing Animation Support
+
+This guide explains how to implement animation support in your Compose Remote Layout application using custom nodes. While the library doesn't include built-in animation components yet, you can easily add them using the custom node system.
+
+## Overview
+
+Animations can be implemented by registering custom nodes that wrap Compose's animation APIs. This allows you to define animations in JSON and control them remotely.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before implementing animations, make sure you're familiar with:
+
+- [Custom Nodes](05a-custom-node.md) - Understanding how to create custom components
+- [Value Binding](04-binds-value.md) - How to bind dynamic values
+- Compose Animation APIs - Basic understanding of Compose animations
+
+## Implementing AnimatedVisibility
+
+AnimatedVisibility is one of the most useful animation components. Here's how to implement it:
+
+### Step 1: Register the Custom Node
+
+```kotlin
+import androidx.compose.animation.*
+import androidx.compose.animation.core.*
+import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Column
+import androidx.compose.runtime.*
+import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
+import com.utsman.composeremote.CustomNodes
+import com.utsman.composeremote.DynamicLayout
+
+fun registerAnimatedVisibility() {
+    CustomNodes.register("animated_visibility") { param ->
+        // Parse visibility state from bind value or direct value
+        val visibleString = param.data["visible"] ?: "true"
+        val visible = visibleString.toBoolean()
+        
+        // Parse enter animation
+        val enterAnimation = parseEnterTransition(param.data)
+        
+        // Parse exit animation
+        val exitAnimation = parseExitTransition(param.data)
+        
+        AnimatedVisibility(
+            visible = visible,
+            enter = enterAnimation,
+            exit = exitAnimation,
+            modifier = param.modifier
+        ) {
+            // Render children
+            param.children?.forEach { childWrapper ->
+                DynamicLayout(
+                    component = childWrapper.component,
+                    path = "${param.path}-child-${childWrapper.hashCode()}",
+                    parentScrollable = param.parentScrollable,
+                    onClickHandler = param.onClickHandler,
+                    bindValue = param.bindsValue
+                )
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+private fun parseEnterTransition(data: Map<String, String>): EnterTransition {
+    val enterType = data["enterType"] ?: "fadeIn"
+    val duration = data["enterDuration"]?.toIntOrNull() ?: 300
+    val delay = data["enterDelay"]?.toIntOrNull() ?: 0
+    
+    val animationSpec = tween<Float>(
+        durationMillis = duration,
+        delayMillis = delay,
+        easing = parseEasing(data["enterEasing"] ?: "easeInOut")
+    )
+    
+    return when (enterType) {
+        "fadeIn" -> fadeIn(animationSpec = animationSpec)
+        "slideInVertically" -> {
+            val initialOffsetY = data["initialOffsetY"]?.toIntOrNull() ?: -100
+            slideInVertically(
+                animationSpec = animationSpec,
+                initialOffsetY = { initialOffsetY }
+            )
+        }
+        "slideInHorizontally" -> {
+            val initialOffsetX = data["initialOffsetX"]?.toIntOrNull() ?: -100
+            slideInHorizontally(
+                animationSpec = animationSpec,
+                initialOffsetX = { initialOffsetX }
+            )
+        }
+        "expandVertically" -> expandVertically(animationSpec = animationSpec)
+        "expandHorizontally" -> expandHorizontally(animationSpec = animationSpec)
+        "scaleIn" -> {
+            val initialScale = data["initialScale"]?.toFloatOrNull() ?: 0.8f
+            scaleIn(
+                animationSpec = animationSpec,
+                initialScale = initialScale
+            )
+        }
+        else -> fadeIn(animationSpec = animationSpec)
+    }
+}
+
+private fun parseExitTransition(data: Map<String, String>): ExitTransition {
+    val exitType = data["exitType"] ?: "fadeOut"
+    val duration = data["exitDuration"]?.toIntOrNull() ?: 300
+    val delay = data["exitDelay"]?.toIntOrNull() ?: 0
+    
+    val animationSpec = tween<Float>(
+        durationMillis = duration,
+        delayMillis = delay,
+        easing = parseEasing(data["exitEasing"] ?: "easeInOut")
+    )
+    
+    return when (exitType) {
+        "fadeOut" -> fadeOut(animationSpec = animationSpec)
+        "slideOutVertically" -> {
+            val targetOffsetY = data["targetOffsetY"]?.toIntOrNull() ?: -100
+            slideOutVertically(
+                animationSpec = animationSpec,
+                targetOffsetY = { targetOffsetY }
+            )
+        }
+        "slideOutHorizontally" -> {
+            val targetOffsetX = data["targetOffsetX"]?.toIntOrNull() ?: -100
+            slideOutHorizontally(
+                animationSpec = animationSpec,
+                targetOffsetX = { targetOffsetX }
+            )
+        }
+        "shrinkVertically" -> shrinkVertically(animationSpec = animationSpec)
+        "shrinkHorizontally" -> shrinkHorizontally(animationSpec = animationSpec)
+        "scaleOut" -> {
+            val targetScale = data["targetScale"]?.toFloatOrNull() ?: 0.8f
+            scaleOut(
+                animationSpec = animationSpec,
+                targetScale = targetScale
+            )
+        }
+        else -> fadeOut(animationSpec = animationSpec)
+    }
+}
+
+private fun parseEasing(easing: String): Easing {
+    return when (easing) {
+        "linear" -> LinearEasing
+        "easeIn" -> FastOutSlowInEasing
+        "easeOut" -> LinearOutSlowInEasing
+        "easeInOut" -> FastOutSlowInEasing
+        "easeInOutCubic" -> EaseInOut
+        else -> FastOutSlowInEasing
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 2: Register at App Startup
+
+Register the custom node when your app starts:
+
+```kotlin
+@Composable
+fun App() {
+    // Register custom animations
+    LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
+        registerAnimatedVisibility()
+    }
+    
+    // Your app content
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+### Step 3: Use in JSON
+
+Now you can use the animation in your JSON layouts:
+
+```json
+{
+  "animated_visibility": {
+    "visible": "{isExpanded}",
+    "enterType": "expandVertically",
+    "enterDuration": "300",
+    "exitType": "shrinkVertically",
+    "exitDuration": "300",
+    "modifier": {
+      "base": {
+        "fillMaxWidth": true
+      }
+    },
+    "children": [
+      {
+        "text": {
+          "content": "Animated content"
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Implementing AnimatedContent
+
+AnimatedContent allows you to animate between different content states:
+
+```kotlin
+fun registerAnimatedContent() {
+    CustomNodes.register("animated_content") { param ->
+        // Parse target state from bind value
+        val targetState = param.data["targetState"] ?: ""
+        
+        // Parse transition spec
+        val transitionType = param.data["transitionType"] ?: "fade"
+        val duration = param.data["transitionDuration"]?.toIntOrNull() ?: 300
+        
+        AnimatedContent(
+            targetState = targetState,
+            transitionSpec = {
+                when (transitionType) {
+                    "fade" -> fadeIn(animationSpec = tween(duration)) togetherWith 
+                             fadeOut(animationSpec = tween(duration))
+                    "slideLeft" -> slideInHorizontally(
+                        animationSpec = tween(duration),
+                        initialOffsetX = { it }
+                    ) togetherWith slideOutHorizontally(
+                        animationSpec = tween(duration),
+                        targetOffsetX = { -it }
+                    )
+                    "slideRight" -> slideInHorizontally(
+                        animationSpec = tween(duration),
+                        initialOffsetX = { -it }
+                    ) togetherWith slideOutHorizontally(
+                        animationSpec = tween(duration),
+                        targetOffsetX = { it }
+                    )
+                    else -> fadeIn(animationSpec = tween(duration)) togetherWith 
+                           fadeOut(animationSpec = tween(duration))
+                }
+            },
+            modifier = param.modifier,
+            label = param.data["label"] ?: "animated_content"
+        ) { state ->
+            // Find the matching child based on state
+            val matchingChild = param.children?.find { child ->
+                child.component.let { component ->
+                    // You can add custom logic here to match state to content
+                    // For simplicity, render first child for this example
+                    true
+                }
+            }
+            
+            matchingChild?.let { childWrapper ->
+                DynamicLayout(
+                    component = childWrapper.component,
+                    path = "${param.path}-content-$state",
+                    parentScrollable = param.parentScrollable,
+                    onClickHandler = param.onClickHandler,
+                    bindValue = param.bindsValue
+                )
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Implementing AnimateContentSize
+
+Add smooth size animations when content changes:
+
+```kotlin
+fun registerAnimateContentSizeModifier() {
+    // Note: This would ideally be integrated into the base modifier system
+    // For now, you can create a wrapper component
+    
+    CustomNodes.register("animated_size_box") { param ->
+        val duration = param.data["sizeDuration"]?.toIntOrNull() ?: 300
+        val easing = parseEasing(param.data["sizeEasing"] ?: "easeInOut")
+        
+        Box(
+            modifier = param.modifier.animateContentSize(
+                animationSpec = tween(
+                    durationMillis = duration,
+                    easing = easing
+                )
+            )
+        ) {
+            param.children?.forEach { childWrapper ->
+                DynamicLayout(
+                    component = childWrapper.component,
+                    path = "${param.path}-child-${childWrapper.hashCode()}",
+                    parentScrollable = param.parentScrollable,
+                    onClickHandler = param.onClickHandler,
+                    bindValue = param.bindsValue
+                )
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced: State-Based Animation Control
+
+For more complex scenarios, you can use state management with animations:
+
+```kotlin
+fun registerAdvancedAnimatedVisibility() {
+    CustomNodes.register("stateful_animated_visibility") { param ->
+        // Use a state holder that can be controlled
+        var visible by remember { 
+            mutableStateOf(param.data["visible"]?.toBoolean() ?: true) 
+        }
+        
+        // Update visibility when bind value changes
+        LaunchedEffect(param.bindsValue) {
+            val bindKey = param.data["visibilityKey"] ?: "visible"
+            param.bindsValue.getValue(bindKey)?.let { value ->
+                visible = value.toBoolean()
+            }
+        }
+        
+        AnimatedVisibility(
+            visible = visible,
+            enter = parseEnterTransition(param.data),
+            exit = parseExitTransition(param.data),
+            modifier = param.modifier
+        ) {
+            param.children?.forEach { childWrapper ->
+                DynamicLayout(
+                    component = childWrapper.component,
+                    path = "${param.path}-child-${childWrapper.hashCode()}",
+                    parentScrollable = param.parentScrollable,
+                    onClickHandler = param.onClickHandler,
+                    bindValue = param.bindsValue
+                )
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Complete Implementation Example
+
+Here's a complete example showing how to set up animations in your app:
+
+```kotlin
+// AnimationNodes.kt
+object AnimationNodes {
+    fun registerAll() {
+        registerAnimatedVisibility()
+        registerAnimatedContent()
+        registerAnimateContentSizeModifier()
+    }
+    
+    private fun registerAnimatedVisibility() {
+        CustomNodes.register("animated_visibility") { param ->
+            val visibleString = param.data["visible"] ?: "true"
+            val visible = visibleString.toBoolean()
+            
+            AnimatedVisibility(
+                visible = visible,

+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Create a Dedicated Animation Module
+
+Organize your animation implementations in a dedicated file or module:
+
+```
+app/
+  src/
+    main/
+      kotlin/
+        animations/
+          AnimationNodes.kt
+          AnimationParsers.kt
+          AnimationTypes.kt
+```
+
+### 2. Provide Sensible Defaults
+
+Always provide default values for animation parameters:
+
+```kotlin
+val duration = param.data["duration"]?.toIntOrNull() ?: 300
+val easing = param.data["easing"] ?: "easeInOut"
+```
+
+### 3. Support Bind Values
+
+Make sure your animations support bind values for dynamic control:
+
+```kotlin
+val visibleString = param.bindsValue.getValue("isVisible") 
+                   ?: param.data["visible"] 
+                   ?: "true"
+val visible = visibleString.toBoolean()
+```
+
+### 4. Document Your Custom Animation Nodes
+
+Create clear documentation for your team on how to use the custom animation nodes in JSON:
+
+```markdown
+## Available Animation Types
+
+### animated_visibility
+- `visible`: "true" or "false" or bind value
+- `enterType`: "fadeIn", "slideInVertically", "expandVertically"
+- `exitType`: "fadeOut", "slideOutVertically", "shrinkVertically"
+- `enterDuration`: milliseconds (default: 300)
+- `exitDuration`: milliseconds (default: 300)
+```
+
+### 5. Test Animations on Different Devices
+
+Ensure animations perform well across different devices:
+
+```kotlin
+// Consider device capabilities
+val duration = if (isLowEndDevice()) 200 else 300
+val enableAnimations = !AccessibilitySettings.areAnimationsDisabled()
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Animation Not Triggering
+
+If your animation isn't triggering:
+
+1. Check that the bind value is actually changing
+2. Verify the visibility string is correctly parsed as boolean
+3. Ensure the custom node is registered before rendering
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+If animations are choppy:
+
+1. Reduce animation complexity for low-end devices
+2. Use simpler animation types (fade vs slide)
+3. Limit the number of simultaneously animating elements
+
+### Children Not Rendering
+
+If children aren't appearing:
+
+1. Ensure you're iterating through `param.children`
+2. Pass the correct parameters to `DynamicLayout`
+3. Check that the parent container (Column, Box) is properly set up
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Now that you've implemented animations:
+
+1. Create a library of reusable animation patterns
+2. Document the available animations for your team
+3. Build an animation showcase in your app
+4. Consider contributing animation support back to the library

+# Quick Start: Adding Animations
+
+This guide will help you add animation support to your Compose Remote Layout app in just a few minutes.
+
+## What You'll Build
+
+In this quick start, you'll add:
+- Expandable/collapsible sections with smooth animations
+- Fade-in/fade-out transitions
+- Content that responds to user interactions
+
+## Step 1: Create Animation Registration (5 minutes)
+
+Create a new file `AnimationSupport.kt` in your project:
+
+```kotlin
+import androidx.compose.animation.*
+import androidx.compose.animation.core.*
+import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Column
+import androidx.compose.runtime.*
+import com.utsman.composeremote.CustomNodes
+import com.utsman.composeremote.DynamicLayout
+
+object AnimationSupport {
+    
+    fun register() {
+        // Register AnimatedVisibility component
+        CustomNodes.register("animated_visibility") { param ->
+            val visible = param.data["visible"]?.toBoolean() ?: true
+            
+            AnimatedVisibility(
+                visible = visible,
+                enter = fadeIn() + expandVertically(),
+                exit = fadeOut() + shrinkVertically(),
+                modifier = param.modifier
+            ) {
+                Column {
+                    param.children?.forEach { child ->
+                        DynamicLayout(
+                            component = child.component,
+                            path = "${param.path}-${child.hashCode()}",
+                            onClickHandler = param.onClickHandler,
+                            bindValue = param.bindsValue
+                        )
+                    }
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Step 2: Register at App Startup (1 minute)
+
+In your main app file, register the animations:
+
+```kotlin
+@Composable
+fun App() {
+    // Register animations once
+    LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
+        AnimationSupport.register()
+    }
+    
+    // Your app content
+    MyContent()
+}
+```
+
+## Step 3: Use in JSON (2 minutes)
+
+Now create a JSON layout with animations:
+
+```json
+{
+  "column": {
+    "modifier": {
+      "base": {
+        "fillMaxWidth": true,
+        "padding": {
+          "all": 16
+        }
+      }
+    },
+    "children": [
+      {
+        "button": {
+          "content": "Show Details",
+          "clickId": "toggle_details",
+          "modifier": {
+            "base": {
+              "fillMaxWidth": true
+            }
+          }
+        }
+      },
+      {
+        "animated_visibility": {
+          "visible": "{showDetails}",
+          "children": [
+            {
+              "card": {
+                "modifier": {
+                  "base": {
+                    "fillMaxWidth": true,
+                    "padding": {
+                      "all": 16
+                    }
+                  }
+                },
+                "children": [
+                  {
+                    "text": {
+                      "content": "These are the details that appear with animation!",
+                      "fontSize": 14
+                    }
+                  }
+                ]
+              }
+            }
+          ]
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Step 4: Wire Up the Click Handler (3 minutes)
+
+Handle the button click to toggle visibility:
+
+```kotlin
+@Composable
+fun MyContent() {
+    // Create bind value for controlling animation
+    val bindsValue = remember { BindsValue() }
+    var showDetails by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
+    
+    // Update bind value when state changes
+    LaunchedEffect(showDetails) {
+        bindsValue.setValue("showDetails", showDetails.toString())
+    }
+    
+    // Your JSON layout string
+    val layoutJson = """
+    {
+      "column": {
+        "children": [
+          {
+            "button": {
+              "content": "Show Details",
+              "clickId": "toggle_details"
+            }
+          },
+          {
+            "animated_visibility": {
+              "visible": "{showDetails}",
+              "children": [
+                {
+                  "text": {
+                    "content": "Animated content!"
+                  }
+                }
+              ]
+            }
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    }
+    """.trimIndent()
+    
+    val component = remember(layoutJson) {
+        createLayoutComponent(layoutJson)
+    }
+    
+    DynamicLayout(
+        component = component,
+        bindValue = bindsValue,
+        onClickHandler = { clickId ->
+            when (clickId) {
+                "toggle_details" -> {
+                    showDetails = !showDetails
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    )
+}
+```
+
+## That's It!
+
+You now have working animations in your remote layout! The content will smoothly expand and collapse when you click the button.
+
+## Next: Add More Animation Types
+
+Want more animation types? Update your `AnimationSupport.kt`:
+
+```kotlin
+object AnimationSupport {
+    
+    fun register() {
+        registerAnimatedVisibility()
+        registerFadeOnlyAnimation()
+        registerSlideAnimation()
+    }
+    
+    private fun registerAnimatedVisibility() {
+        CustomNodes.register("animated_visibility") { param ->
+            val visible = param.data["visible"]?.toBoolean() ?: true
+            
+            AnimatedVisibility(
+                visible = visible,
+                enter = fadeIn() + expandVertically(),
+                exit = fadeOut() + shrinkVertically(),
+                modifier = param.modifier
+            ) {
+                Column {
+                    param.children?.forEach { child ->
+                        DynamicLayout(
+                            component = child.component,
+                            path = "${param.path}-${child.hashCode()}",
+                            onClickHandler = param.onClickHandler,
+                            bindValue = param.bindsValue
+                        )
+                    }
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+    
+    private fun registerFadeOnlyAnimation() {
+        CustomNodes.register("fade_visibility") { param ->
+            val visible = param.data["visible"]?.toBoolean() ?: true
+            val duration = param.data["duration"]?.toIntOrNull() ?: 300
+            
+            AnimatedVisibility(
+                visible = visible,
+                enter = fadeIn(animationSpec = tween(duration)),
+                exit = fadeOut(animationSpec = tween(duration)),
+                modifier = param.modifier
+            ) {
+                Column {
+                    param.children?.forEach { child ->
+                        DynamicLayout(
+                            component = child.component,
+                            path = "${param.path}-${child.hashCode()}",
+                            onClickHandler = param.onClickHandler,
+                            bindValue = param.bindsValue
+                        )
+                    }
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+    
+    private fun registerSlideAnimation() {
+        CustomNodes.register("slide_visibility") { param ->
+            val visible = param.data["visible"]?.toBoolean() ?: true
+            val duration = param.data["duration"]?.toIntOrNull() ?: 300
+            
+            AnimatedVisibility(
+                visible = visible,
+                enter = slideInVertically(animationSpec = tween(duration)),
+                exit = slideOutVertically(animationSpec = tween(duration)),
+                modifier = param.modifier
+            ) {
+                Column {
+                    param.children?.forEach { child ->
+                        DynamicLayout(
+                            component = child.component,
+                            path = "${param.path}-${child.hashCode()}",
+                            onClickHandler = param.onClickHandler,
+                            bindValue = param.bindsValue
+                        )
+                    }
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Now you can use different animation types in your JSON:
+
+```json
+{
+  "fade_visibility": {
+    "visible": "{showContent}",
+    "duration": "500",
+    "children": [
+      {
+        "text": {
+          "content": "This fades in and out"
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Loading State
+
+Show/hide loading indicators:
+
+```json
+{
+  "box": {
+    "modifier": {
+      "base": {
+        "fillMaxWidth": true
+      },
+      "contentAlignment": "center"
+    },
+    "children": [
+      {
+        "fade_visibility": {
+          "visible": "{isLoading}",
+          "duration": "200",
+          "children": [
+            {
+              "text": {
+                "content": "Loading..."
+              }
+            }
+          ]
+        }
+      },
+      {
+        "fade_visibility": {
+          "visible": "{isLoaded}",
+          "duration": "300",
+          "children": [
+            {
+              "text": {
+                "content": "Content loaded!"
+              }
+            }
+          ]
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Accordion Menu
+
+Create expandable menu items:
+
+```json
+{
+  "column": {
+    "children": [
+      {
+        "button": {
+          "content": "Menu Section 1",
+          "clickId": "toggle_section1"
+        }
+      },
+      {
+        "animated_visibility": {
+          "visible": "{section1Expanded}",
+          "children": [
+            {
+              "column": {
+                "children": [
+                  {
+                    "text": {
+                      "content": "Item 1"
+                    }
+                  },
+                  {
+                    "text": {
+                      "content": "Item 2"
+                    }
+                  }
+                ]
+              }
+            }
+          ]
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Animation not working?**
+- Verify `AnimationSupport.register()` is called in `LaunchedEffect`
+- Check that bind values are strings ("true"/"false", not boolean)
+- Make sure you're updating bindsValue when state changes
+
+**Children not appearing?**
+- Wrap children in a Column or Box in the AnimatedVisibility
+- Ensure you're calling DynamicLayout for each child
+- Pass param.bindsValue to child DynamicLayout calls

+# Animations
+
+Compose Remote Layout supports various animation capabilities through JSON configuration, allowing you to create dynamic and engaging user interfaces without app updates.
+
+## Overview
+
+Animations can be applied to components in several ways:
+
+1. **AnimatedVisibility** - Show/hide components with enter/exit animations
+2. **AnimatedContent** - Animate content changes with transitions
+3. **Animated Modifiers** - Size, color, and position animations
+
+## AnimatedVisibility
+
+`AnimatedVisibility` allows you to show or hide components with smooth animations. This is perfect for toggling content, expanding/collapsing sections, or showing conditional UI elements.
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```json
+{
+  "animated_visibility": {
+    "visible": "true",
+    "modifier": {
+      "base": {
+        "fillMaxWidth": true
+      }
+    },
+    "children": [
+      {
+        "text": {
+          "content": "This content fades in and out"
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Properties
+
+- `visible`: Controls visibility (accepts `"true"`, `"false"`, or bind values like `"{isVisible}"`)
+- `enter`: Enter animation configuration (optional)
+- `exit`: Exit animation configuration (optional)
+- `children`: The content to show/hide
+
+### Animation Types
+
+#### Enter Animations
+
+You can configure how components appear:
+
+```json
+{
+  "animated_visibility": {
+    "visible": "{showContent}",
+    "enter": {
+      "type": "fadeIn",
+      "durationMillis": 300
+    },
+    "children": [
+      {
+        "text": {
+          "content": "Fading in!"
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Available enter animation types:**
+
+- `fadeIn` - Fade in from transparent to opaque
+- `slideInVertically` - Slide in from top or bottom
+- `slideInHorizontally` - Slide in from left or right
+- `expandVertically` - Expand from collapsed to full height
+- `expandHorizontally` - Expand from collapsed to full width
+- `scaleIn` - Scale from small to normal size
+
+**Additional properties for enter animations:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "enter": {
+    "type": "slideInVertically",
+    "durationMillis": 400,
+    "delayMillis": 100,
+    "initialOffsetY": "-100",
+    "easing": "easeInOut"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Properties:
+- `durationMillis`: Animation duration in milliseconds (default: 300)
+- `delayMillis`: Delay before animation starts (default: 0)
+- `initialOffsetY`: Starting offset for slide animations (percentage or pixels)
+- `initialOffsetX`: Starting offset for horizontal animations
+- `easing`: Easing function (`"linear"`, `"easeIn"`, `"easeOut"`, `"easeInOut"`)
+
+#### Exit Animations
+
+Configure how components disappear:
+
+```json
+{
+  "animated_visibility": {
+    "visible": "{showPanel}",
+    "exit": {
+      "type": "slideOutVertically",
+      "durationMillis": 250,
+      "targetOffsetY": "100"
+    },
+    "children": [
+      {
+        "card": {
+          "children": [
+            {
+              "text": {
+                "content": "This slides out when hidden"
+              }
+            }
+          ]
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Available exit animation types:**
+
+- `fadeOut` - Fade out from opaque to transparent
+- `slideOutVertically` - Slide out to top or bottom
+- `slideOutHorizontally` - Slide out to left or right
+- `shrinkVertically` - Shrink from full height to collapsed
+- `shrinkHorizontally` - Shrink from full width to collapsed
+- `scaleOut` - Scale from normal to small size
+
+#### Combined Enter and Exit
+
+You can combine different enter and exit animations:
+
+```json
+{
+  "animated_visibility": {
+    "visible": "{menuOpen}",
+    "enter": {
+      "type": "expandVertically",
+      "durationMillis": 300
+    },
+    "exit": {
+      "type": "shrinkVertically",
+      "durationMillis": 300
+    },
+    "children": [
+      {
+        "column": {
+          "children": [
+            {
+              "text": {
+                "content": "Menu Item 1"
+              }
+            },
+            {
+              "text": {
+                "content": "Menu Item 2"
+              }
+            }
+          ]
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## AnimatedContent
+
+`AnimatedContent` automatically animates when its content changes. This is useful for transitioning between different states or values.
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```json
+{
+  "animated_content": {
+    "targetState": "{currentStep}",
+    "modifier": {
+      "base": {
+        "fillMaxWidth": true,
+        "padding": {
+          "all": 16
+        }
+      }
+    },
+    "transitionSpec": {
+      "type": "slideInOut",
+      "durationMillis": 400
+    },
+    "content": {
+      "1": {
+        "text": {
+          "content": "Step 1: Welcome"
+        }
+      },
+      "2": {
+        "text": {
+          "content": "Step 2: Configure"
+        }
+      },
+      "3": {
+        "text": {
+          "content": "Step 3: Complete"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Properties
+
+- `targetState`: The current state value (usually a bind value like `"{currentTab}"`)
+- `transitionSpec`: Configuration for the transition animation
+- `content`: Map of state values to their corresponding layouts
+- `label`: Optional label for the animation (for debugging)
+
+### Transition Types
+
+**Fade Transition:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "transitionSpec": {
+    "type": "fade",
+    "durationMillis": 300
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Slide Transition:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "transitionSpec": {
+    "type": "slideInOut",
+    "direction": "left",
+    "durationMillis": 350
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Available directions: `"left"`, `"right"`, `"up"`, `"down"`
+
+**Scale Transition:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "transitionSpec": {
+    "type": "scale",
+    "durationMillis": 300,
+    "initialScale": 0.8
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Custom Combined Transition:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "transitionSpec": {
+    "type": "fadeWithSlide",
+    "direction": "up",
+    "durationMillis": 400,
+    "slideOffset": 50
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Animated Modifiers
+
+Certain modifiers can be animated automatically when their values change.
+
+### Animated Size
+
+Use `animateContentSize` to smoothly animate size changes:
+
+```json
+{
+  "column": {
+    "modifier": {
+      "base": {
+        "fillMaxWidth": true,
+        "animateContentSize": {
+          "enabled": true,
+          "durationMillis": 300,
+          "easing": "easeInOut"
+        }
+      }
+    },
+    "children": [
+      {
+        "text": {
+          "content": "{dynamicContent}"
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Properties:
+- `enabled`: Whether to enable content size animation (default: true)
+- `durationMillis`: Animation duration (default: 300)
+- `easing`: Easing function (default: "easeInOut")
+
+### Animated Background Color
+
+Animate background color changes:
+
+```json
+{
+  "box": {
+    "modifier": {
+      "base": {
+        "size": 100,
+        "background": {
+          "color": "{dynamicColor}",
+          "animated": true,
+          "animationDuration": 500
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Practical Examples
+
+### Expandable Section
+
+Create an expandable section that reveals content when clicked:
+
+```json
+{
+  "column": {
+    "modifier": {
+      "base": {
+        "fillMaxWidth": true
+      }
+    },
+    "children": [
+      {

+            {
+              "text": {
+                "content": "Tap to expand",
+                "fontWeight": "bold"
+              }
+            }
+          ]
+        }
+      },
+      {
+        "animated_visibility": {
+          "visible": "{isExpanded}",
+          "enter": {
+            "type": "expandVertically",
+            "durationMillis": 300
+          },
+          "exit": {
+            "type": "shrinkVertically",
+            "durationMillis": 300
+          },
+          "children": [
+            {
+              "column": {
+                "modifier": {
+                  "base": {
+                    "padding": {
+                      "all": 16
+                    }
+                  }
+                },
+                "children": [
+                  {
+                    "text": {
+                      "content": "Hidden content revealed!"
+                    }
+                  }
+                ]
+              }
+            }
+          ]
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}

+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Keep Animation Durations Consistent
+
+Use consistent animation durations throughout your app for a cohesive feel:
+
+- Fast interactions: 150-200ms
+- Standard transitions: 250-350ms
+- Complex animations: 400-500ms
+
+### 2. Match Enter and Exit Animations
+
+For a natural feel, use complementary enter and exit animations:
+
+```json
+{
+  "enter": {
+    "type": "slideInVertically",
+    "initialOffsetY": "-100"
+  },
+  "exit": {
+    "type": "slideOutVertically",
+    "targetOffsetY": "-100"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Use Delays Strategically
+
+Add small delays to create staggered animations:
+
+```json
+{
+  "animated_visibility": {
+    "visible": "{show}",
+    "enter": {
+      "type": "fadeIn",
+      "durationMillis": 300,
+      "delayMillis": 100
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Consider Performance
+
+- Avoid animating too many elements simultaneously
+- Use simpler animations for complex layouts
+- Test animations on lower-end devices
+
+### 5. Bind to Dynamic Values
+
+Leverage bind values to control animations from your app:
+
+```kotlin
+val bindsValue = BindsValue()
+bindsValue.setValue("isExpanded", "false")
+bindsValue.setValue("currentTab", "home")
+bindsValue.setValue("showModal", "true")
+```
+
+## Controlling Animations from Code
+
+You can control animations by updating bind values:
+
+```kotlin
+// Toggle visibility
+val isVisible = remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
+val bindsValue = remember { BindsValue() }
+
+// Update bind value to trigger animation
+LaunchedEffect(isVisible.value) {
+    bindsValue.setValue("menuVisible", isVisible.value.toString())
+}
+
+DynamicLayout(
+    component = component,
+    bindValue = bindsValue
+)
+```
+
+## Animation Easing Functions
+
+Available easing functions for smooth animations:
+
+- `linear` - Constant speed throughout
+- `easeIn` - Slow start, fast end
+- `easeOut` - Fast start, slow end
+- `easeInOut` - Slow start and end, fast middle
+- `easeInOutCubic` - Smooth cubic curve
+- `easeInBack` - Slight overshoot at start
+- `easeOutBack` - Slight overshoot at end
+- `fastOutSlowIn` - Material Design standard
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Now that you understand animations, you can:
+
+1. Create engaging, dynamic UIs without app updates
+2. Implement smooth transitions between states
+3. Build interactive components with visual feedback
+4. Enhance user experience with thoughtful animations

+# Animation Examples
+
+This directory contains example implementations for adding animation support to Compose Remote Layout.
+
+## Files
+
+### AnimationNodes.kt
+
+A complete, production-ready implementation of animation custom nodes. This file provides:
+
+- **AnimatedVisibility** - Show/hide animations with configurable enter/exit transitions
+- **FadeVisibility** - Simple fade in/out animations
+- **SlideVisibility** - Slide animations (vertical or horizontal)
+- **AnimatedSizeBox** - Animated content size changes
+
+## How to Use
+
+1. Copy `AnimationNodes.kt` to your project

+fun App() {
+    LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
+        AnimationNodes.registerAll()
+    }
+    
+    // Your app content
+}
+```
+
+3. Use in your JSON layouts:
+
+```json
+{
+  "animated_visibility": {
+    "visible": "{isExpanded}",
+    "enterType": "expandVertically",
+    "exitType": "shrinkVertically",
+    "children": [
+      {
+        "text": {
+          "content": "Animated content"
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Customization
+
+Feel free to modify the code to suit your needs:

+# Animation Support Feature - Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+This PR proposes comprehensive animation support for Compose Remote Layout, enabling developers to create dynamic, animated UIs that can be controlled remotely through JSON configurations.
+
+## What's Been Added
+
+### 📚 Documentation (3 New Guides)
+
+1. **[Animations Guide](docs/03-json-structure/08-animations.md)** (14KB)
+   - Complete reference for all animation types
+   - AnimatedVisibility with enter/exit animations
+   - AnimatedContent for state transitions
+   - Animated modifiers (size, color)
+   - 10+ practical examples (expandable sections, tabs, loading states, etc.)
+   - Best practices and design guidelines
+
+2. **[Implementation Guide](docs/02-setup/06-implementing-animations.md)** (18KB)
+   - Technical guide for developers
+   - Step-by-step code implementation
+   - Parser functions for animation properties
+   - State management with animations
+   - Advanced patterns and troubleshooting
+   - Complete working examples
+
+3. **[Quick Start Guide](docs/02-setup/06a-quick-start-animations.md)** (10KB)
+   - Get animations working in under 10 minutes
+   - Minimal code examples
+   - Common patterns (accordions, loading states)
+   - Troubleshooting tips
+
+### 💻 Example Code
+
+**[AnimationNodes.kt](docs/examples/AnimationNodes.kt)** - Production-ready implementation
+- Complete custom node implementations
+- AnimatedVisibility with configurable transitions
+- FadeVisibility for simple fade animations
+- SlideVisibility for directional slides
+- AnimatedSizeBox for size transitions
+- Full animation parsers with all options
+
+### 📝 Other Changes
+
+- Updated **mkdocs.yml** to include new documentation pages
+- Updated **README.MD** to highlight animation support
+- Added **ANIMATION_PROPOSAL.md** explaining the approach
+- Fixed internal documentation links
+- Added **site/** to .gitignore
+
+## Implementation Approach
+
+### Why Custom Nodes?
+
+Rather than building animations into the core library, this proposal uses the existing **Custom Nodes** system:
+
+✅ **Zero Breaking Changes** - Uses existing extension points
+✅ **Backward Compatible** - Doesn't modify core library
+✅ **Maximum Flexibility** - Apps implement exactly what they need
+✅ **Minimal Maintenance** - Leverages standard Compose APIs
+✅ **Easy Adoption** - Can be added incrementally
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Register Custom Nodes** (one-time setup):
+```kotlin
+LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
+    AnimationNodes.registerAll()
+}
+```
+
+2. **Define in JSON**:
+```json
+{
+  "animated_visibility": {
+    "visible": "{isExpanded}",
+    "enterType": "expandVertically",
+    "exitType": "shrinkVertically",
+    "children": [...]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+3. **Control from Code**:
+```kotlin
+bindsValue.setValue("isExpanded", "true") // Triggers animation
+```
+
+## Features Supported
+
+### AnimatedVisibility
+- ✅ Fade in/out
+- ✅ Slide (horizontal/vertical)
+- ✅ Expand/shrink
+- ✅ Scale in/out
+- ✅ Configurable duration, delay, easing
+- ✅ Combined enter/exit animations
+
+### AnimatedContent
+- ✅ State-based content transitions
+- ✅ Fade transitions
+- ✅ Slide transitions (all directions)
+- ✅ Scale transitions
+- ✅ Custom combined transitions
+
+### Animated Modifiers
+- ✅ Content size animation
+- ✅ Background color animation
+- ✅ Configurable duration and easing
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Server-Driven Animations** 🌐
+   - Update animation behavior without app deployment
+   - A/B test different animation styles
+   - Customize per user or segment
+
+2. **Consistent UX** 🎨
+   - Define animations once, use everywhere
+   - Maintain animation consistency across platforms
+   - Easy to update animation guidelines
+
+3. **Reduced App Size** 📦
+   - No need for multiple animation variations
+   - Only include animations you use
+   - Optimize for each platform
+
+4. **Easier Iteration** 🔄
+   - Designers can tweak animations remotely
+   - No code changes needed
+   - Faster iteration cycles
+
+5. **Developer-Friendly** 👩‍💻
+   - Clear documentation and examples
+   - Copy-paste ready code
+   - Extensible for custom needs
+
+## Real-World Use Cases
+
+### 1. Expandable FAQ

+              }
+            }
+          ]
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Tab Navigation

+# Animation Support - Quick Demo
+
+## 🚀 Get Started in 3 Steps
+
+### Step 1: Register Animations (Copy & Paste)
+
+```kotlin
+import androidx.compose.animation.*
+import androidx.compose.animation.core.*
+import androidx.compose.foundation.layout.Column
+import androidx.compose.runtime.*
+import com.utsman.composeremote.CustomNodes
+import com.utsman.composeremote.DynamicLayout
+
+// In your app initialization
+LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
+    CustomNodes.register("animated_visibility") { param ->
+        val visible = param.data["visible"]?.toBoolean() ?: true
+        
+        AnimatedVisibility(
+            visible = visible,
+            enter = fadeIn() + expandVertically(),
+            exit = fadeOut() + shrinkVertically(),
+            modifier = param.modifier
+        ) {
+            Column {
+                param.children?.forEach { child ->
+                    DynamicLayout(
+                        component = child.component,
+                        path = "${param.path}-${child.hashCode()}",
+                        onClickHandler = param.onClickHandler,
+                        bindValue = param.bindsValue
+                    )
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 2: Define Animation in JSON
+
+```json
+{
+  "column": {
+    "modifier": {
+      "base": {
+        "fillMaxWidth": true,
+        "padding": { "all": 16 }
+      }
+    },
+    "children": [
+      {
+        "button": {
+          "content": "Toggle Content",
+          "clickId": "toggle",
+          "modifier": {
+            "base": {
+              "fillMaxWidth": true
+            }
+          }
+        }
+      },
+      {
+        "animated_visibility": {
+          "visible": "{showContent}",
+          "children": [
+            {
+              "card": {
+                "modifier": {
+                  "base": {
+                    "fillMaxWidth": true,
+                    "padding": { "all": 16 }
+                  }
+                },
+                "children": [
+                  {
+                    "text": {
+                      "content": "This content animates in and out! ✨",
+                      "fontSize": 16
+                    }
+                  }
+                ]
+              }
+            }
+          ]
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 3: Control from Code
+
+```kotlin
+@Composable
+fun MyScreen() {
+    val bindsValue = remember { BindsValue() }
+    var showContent by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
+    
+    LaunchedEffect(showContent) {
+        bindsValue.setValue("showContent", showContent.toString())
+    }
+    
+    val layoutJson = """{ ... your JSON above ... }"""
+    val component = remember(layoutJson) {
+        createLayoutComponent(layoutJson)
+    }
+    
+    DynamicLayout(
+        component = component,
+        bindValue = bindsValue,
+        onClickHandler = { clickId ->
+            when (clickId) {
+                "toggle" -> showContent = !showContent
+            }
+        }
+    )
+}
+```
+
+## 🎬 What You Get
+
+When you tap the button:
+- Content smoothly **fades in** while **expanding** from collapsed
+- When you tap again, it **fades out** while **shrinking** back
+
+## 🎨 More Animation Types
+
+### Fade Only
+```json
+{
+  "animated_visibility": {
+    "visible": "{show}",
+    "children": [...]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Slide In/Out
+```json
+{
+  "animated_visibility": {
+    "visible": "{show}",
+    "enterType": "slideInVertically",
+    "exitType": "slideOutVertically",
+    "children": [...]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Scale Effect
+```json
+{
+  "animated_visibility": {
+    "visible": "{show}",
+    "enterType": "scaleIn",
+    "exitType": "scaleOut",
