Which is more performant: Skottie from RN Skia vs LottieView from lottie-react-native for playing Lottie animations?

[TowhidKashem]

I have a lot of lottie animations in my app and was just wondering which is the more performant way to play lottie animations? I already use Skia for other things in my app so was thinking of switching over from lottie-react-native for this too but am concerned about performance. Is one better or worse than the other from a performance point of view?

What kind of cornered me was how Skottie requires json stringifying the whole lottie animation:

Skia.Skottie.Make(JSON.stringify(source))

to read it. Not sure if this is any worse than what the lottie lib does internally but it did catch my eye. Also the lottie lib has renderMode="HARDWARE" which apparently enables hardware acceleration. Another downside seems to be that Skottie only supports .json file animations and not .lottie which the lottie lib supports. .lottie files are much smaller (compressed) than json files (even when minified).

Anyway, does anyone know how they compare performance wise?
