## What it is
AnythingSlider is a jQuery plugin for creating flexible content sliders/carousels that can hold any HTML content. It supports multiple sliders per page, themes, deep linking to specific slides, callbacks, and infinite sliding.

## Use cases
- add a content slider to a jQuery website
- create a carousel with arbitrary HTML panels
- deep-link to a specific slide in a slider
- show multiple slides at once in a carousel
- add vertical or cross-fade slide transitions
- run several sliders on one page with different themes

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy jQuery codebase needing a robust, feature-rich slider
- you need deep linking, callbacks, themes, and multiple sliders per page
- you want a slider that accepts any HTML content, including video

## When to avoid
- you are starting a modern project without jQuery
- you need a lightweight, touch-first mobile carousel
- you want actively developed software with recent feature work

- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
