In plain words

Lottie is a library for iOS, Android, and React Native that enables developers to add high-quality animations to native apps by rendering After Effects animations in real time. Rather than treating animations as complex components, it allows developers to use them as simply as static images. The tool bridges design and development, letting designers create animations in After Effects that developers can implement directly into their applications.
