## What it is
Glide.js is a dependency-free JavaScript ES6 slider and carousel library for the web. It is lightweight (~7kb gzipped), modular, extendable with custom components, and works with modern bundlers.

## Use cases
- add an image carousel to a website
- build a responsive content slider with breakpoints
- create a touch-swipeable slideshow on mobile
- implement an autoplay hero slider
- add a lightweight carousel without jQuery dependencies
- build a multi-item product slider with controls

## When to choose
- you need a small, dependency-free slider in vanilla JavaScript
- you want modular imports to keep bundle size minimal
- you need responsive breakpoints, swipe, autoplay, and keyboard controls out of the box
- you want to extend the slider with custom components

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured UI component framework with grids, modals, and more
- you require React/Vue-specific components rather than a vanilla JS library
- you need advanced features like virtualized infinite scrolling lists
