## What it is
A swiper/carousel component library for React Native offering multiple layouts (default, tinder, stack), parallax images, pagination, and FlatList-based performance for large item sets. It works on both Android and iOS and is distributed as an npm package under the BSD-3-Clause license.

## Use cases
- add a swipeable carousel to my react native app
- horizontal snap-scrolling card slider on android and ios
- tinder-style card stack swipe UI in react native
- parallax image carousel with pagination dots
- performant carousel with thousands of items
- infinite scrolling swiper component for mobile
- image gallery with snap effect in react native

## When to choose
- You are building a React Native app (Android or iOS) and need a polished, feature-complete carousel with layouts, parallax images, and pagination out of the box
- You need to render very large numbers of carousel items performantly, thanks to its FlatList-based virtualization
- You want prebuilt visual effects like tinder/stack layouts and custom scroll interpolations without writing animation code yourself

## When to avoid
- You require a library with guaranteed ongoing maintenance and prompt bug fixes — the project is publicly seeking maintainers, so updates may be slow or halted
- You are building for the web or React DOM rather than React Native
- You need deep customization or React Native version compatibility beyond what the documented props and known issues support
