## What it is
Lightbox is a Swift library providing a convenient, easy-to-use image viewer for iOS apps. It supports paginated image slideshows, video playback, zooming, captions, dynamic backgrounds, and remote image loading with caching.

## Use cases
- show a full-screen image gallery in my iOS app
- add a swipeable photo slideshow with captions
- display remote images with zoom and paging in Swift
- present photos and videos in a lightbox viewer
- add double-tap to zoom image viewer to iOS
- show an image carousel with transition animations

## When to choose
- you need a ready-made UIKit image viewer with slideshow, zoom, and video support in an iOS app
- you want a lightweight, configurable lightbox component in Swift

## When to avoid
- you are building for Android or cross-platform frameworks
- you need SwiftUI-native image viewing
- you require a highly customized viewer beyond the library's configuration options
