@floating-ui/dom
Advanced tools
This is the library to use Floating UI on the web, wrapping @floating-ui/core
with DOM interface logic.
Popper.js is a predecessor of the @floating-ui/dom library. It provides similar functionality for positioning tooltips and popovers. While Popper.js is widely used and has a larger community, @floating-ui/dom is its successor with a more modular architecture and potentially better performance.
Tippy.js is a highly popular tooltip and popover library built on top of Popper.js. It offers a more complete solution out of the box with a wide range of options and plugins for creating interactive floating UI elements. Compared to @floating-ui/dom, Tippy.js might be easier to use for those who want a ready-to-go solution with less setup.
Tooltip.js is another library for creating tooltips in web applications. It is part of the Bootstrap framework but can be used independently. While it provides a simple API for tooltips, @floating-ui/dom offers a lower-level API that can be used to build a wider variety of floating UI elements.
