## What it is
FlexSlider is a fully responsive jQuery slider/carousel plugin originally by WooThemes, supporting fade and slide animations, touch gestures, RTL, and accessibility features. The standalone repository is no longer under active development, with the latest version incubated inside the WooCommerce codebase.

## Use cases
- add an image slider to a website
- responsive jQuery carousel for product images
- slideshow with fade transitions
- touch-friendly slider for mobile web
- RTL slider for Arabic or Hebrew sites
- accessible carousel with keyboard navigation

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy WordPress or WooCommerce site already using FlexSlider
- a jQuery-based project needing a simple, battle-tested slider
- you need RTL or accessibility features in a jQuery slider

## When to avoid
- starting a new modern project without jQuery
- you need actively maintained software with security updates
- you need advanced features like lazy loading or React/Vue integration
