How to make a skeleton for textures and animations in cocos2d?

Question

Cocos2d

Side view, thinking about how to make a physics body and break it into pieces with the ability to replace textures, add.

Example: there is a character and I want to change his haircut or hat, pants, boots, etc.
In this case, the animation of movements will be on the skeleton, such as running in other shoes or walking, hitting.

Here is what I found at the request of cocos2d skeletal animation

Are there any alternatives?
Which ones are better?
What do you use and how do you create such animation?
