## What it is
Tiny-Swiper is a lightweight (~2kb) zero-dependency JavaScript carousel/slider library written in TypeScript with a plugin-based architecture. It provides a native-like touch swipe experience and lets developers import only the plugins they need, such as pagination and lazyload.

## Use cases
- add a touch-friendly image carousel to a web page
- build a lightweight slider without pulling in a heavy dependency
- create a swipeable gallery with lazy-loaded images
- add pagination controls to a slider
- implement a vertical or free-mode slider
- replace Swiper.js with a smaller 2kb alternative
- build a responsive carousel with breakpoints

## When to choose
- you need a minimal, zero-dependency carousel with a tiny bundle size
- you want to tree-shake and include only the features you use
- you need native-like touch swipe behavior on mobile web
- you prefer writing your own CSS for pagination and navigation

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured slider with extensive built-in UI, effects, and framework components out of the box
- you require long-term active maintenance or commercial support
- you need React/Vue/Angular wrapper components provided by the library
- you need accessibility features or an explicit open-source license guarantee from the repository

## Facets

- domain: web-development, frontend
