A jQuery plugin for Twitter Bootstrap that adds a lightbox component built on top of Bootstrap's modal dialog. It displays images in an overlay with optional captions, backdrop, keyboard dismissal, and automatic resizing to fit the window.

Use cases

• show images in an overlay lightbox on a bootstrap site
• add image galleries with captions to a webpage
• open images in a modal dialog with data attributes
• resize large images to fit the browser window
• replace bootstrap modal with an image lightbox

When to choose

• you are already using Twitter Bootstrap and jQuery
• you need a simple image lightbox with captions and backdrop options
• you want data-attribute-driven setup without writing JavaScript

When to avoid

• you use Bootstrap 5 or a modern framework without jQuery
• you need an actively maintained plugin with support for the latest Bootstrap versions
• you need advanced gallery features like swipe gestures or lazy loading
