## What it is
Owl Carousel 2 is a touch-enabled jQuery plugin for creating responsive carousel sliders with drag support, breakpoints, and CSS3 transitions. The project is officially deprecated and its maintainers recommend switching to alternatives like tiny-slider.

## Use cases
- add an image carousel to a jQuery website
- build a responsive touch-swipe slider
- create a content slider with drag support on mobile
- show a scrolling product carousel with breakpoints
- replace a static list of items with a swipeable carousel

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy jQuery codebase that already uses Owl Carousel
- you need a quick jQuery-based carousel for an older browser-support matrix

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - it is deprecated and unmaintained
- modern frameworks like React or Vue where dedicated carousel components exist
- projects requiring ongoing security fixes or active support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: jquery-plugin, carousel, slider, deprecated, responsive, nodejs
