Editor and runtimes
At its core, Rive is formed of two parts — the editor, and the runtimes. The editor is where you create and animate designs. From there, you can export your work ready to drop into your app or game via one of our runtimes. Runtimes are open-source libraries that allow you to play and manipulate your animations in realtime across a variety of platforms.
You can learn more about both our editor and runtimes via the respective chapters of this documentation.
The Rive format and runtimes are all open-source and available through the MIT license.
