Lottie animations are powerful for modern UI, but they are often hidden inside network responses, JavaScript files, or even external APIs. Finding and extracting the original JSON file manually is frustrating.
🛠️ The Manual Way
- Open DevTools: Right-click → Inspect.
- Network Tab: Go to the Network panel.
- Filter: Filter results by type or keyword 'JSON' or 'lottie'.
- Reload: Reload the page to capture the files.
The Problem: It's time-consuming to identify which file is the right one, and some animations are embedded directly in the scripts.
