Utility functions shared across Floating UI packages. You may use these functions in your own projects, but are subject to breaking changes.
Popper.js is a library used to create poppers in web applications. It is similar to @floating-ui/utils in that it provides positioning logic for tooltips, popovers, and other floating elements. Popper.js was the predecessor to the Floating UI library, which @floating-ui/utils is a part of.
Tippy.js is a highly customizable tooltip and popover library that wraps around Popper.js. It provides a higher-level abstraction over the positioning logic, making it easier to create tooltips and popovers with less setup compared to @floating-ui/utils.
Tooltip.js is another library for creating and managing tooltips in web applications. It is built on top of Popper.js and provides a simpler API for creating tooltips, similar to Tippy.js. Compared to @floating-ui/utils, Tooltip.js offers less low-level control but is easier to use for common tooltip scenarios.
