## What it is
Splide is a lightweight, dependency-free slider/carousel library written in TypeScript with strong accessibility support. It offers drag/swipe, autoplay, breakpoints, lazy loading, and official React, Vue, and Svelte integration packages.

## Use cases
- add an image carousel to a website
- build an accessible slider with keyboard and screen reader support
- create a touch-swipeable gallery with thumbnail navigation
- implement an autoplay hero slider with progress bar
- make a responsive multi-slide carousel with breakpoints
- lazy-load images in a long slider
- build a vertical or RTL slider

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, zero-dependency carousel with no Lighthouse penalties
- accessibility (W3C carousel pattern, live regions) is a priority
- you use React, Vue, or Svelte and want official wrappers
- you need flexible features like drag-free mode, nested sliders, or extensions

## When to avoid
- you need WebGL or advanced 3D transition effects out of the box
- you want a fully managed slider UI builder rather than a code library
- you require IE9 or legacy browser support beyond IE10
