@popperjs/core is a lightweight and powerful JavaScript library for positioning poppers (pop-up elements) near their reference elements. It offers a flexible and customizable solution for creating tooltips, popovers, dropdowns, and other UI components that need dynamic positioning. Popper.js uses the Popper positioning engine to calculate the optimal position of the popper based on various factors like size, placement, and boundaries.
Compared to alternative solutions like Tippy.js or Tooltip.js, @popperjs/core provides a more robust and feature-rich positioning engine with better support for complex positioning scenarios. It is actively maintained and widely used in modern web development projects.
