## What it is
An extendable, pure React carousel component library by Brainhub, not a jQuery wrapper. It supports controlled and uncontrolled usage, plugins, dots navigation, and RTL, with tests via Jest and Cypress.

## Use cases
- add an image carousel to a React app
- build a responsive slider without jQuery dependencies
- create a controlled carousel synced with app state
- showcase product slides with dots navigation
- implement a touch-friendly swipeable gallery in React
- extend carousel behavior with custom plugins

## When to choose
- you need a real React carousel rather than a jQuery wrapper
- you want controlled/uncontrolled component semantics like inputs
- you need an extendable carousel with plugin support
- your project is React-based and wants a lightweight slider

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured slider with heavy animations out of the box
- your project is not React-based
- you need SSR-critical performance guarantees without testing
- you want a carousel with built-in lightbox or video support
