## What it is
React Images is a mobile-friendly, highly customizable carousel and lightbox component for displaying media in React applications. It provides a Carousel component and a Modal with a ModalGateway for rendering image galleries in a lightbox overlay.

## Use cases
- display an image gallery carousel in react
- open images in a lightbox modal on click
- responsive image viewer for mobile and desktop
- customize carousel appearance and captions in react
- show thumbnails and fullscreen image sources in a gallery

## When to choose
- maintaining an existing project that already depends on react-images
- you need a simple lightbox carousel and accept the maintenance risk

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the README explicitly warns against new usage
- you need actively maintained software or security fixes
- you need XSS sanitization of HTML captions out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: react, carousel, lightbox, image-gallery, modal, responsive, nodejs
