## What it is
TouchSwipe is a jQuery plugin that detects touch gestures such as swipes in four directions and pinch in/out on touch devices like iPad, iPhone, and Android. It falls back to mouse drags on desktop and offers configurable thresholds, child-element exclusion, and page scrolling support.

## Use cases
- detect swipe gestures on mobile web pages
- add swipe navigation to a jquery site
- handle pinch in and pinch out gestures in the browser
- support touch gestures that fall back to mouse drag on desktop
- exclude buttons and form inputs from triggering swipes
- allow page scrolling while still detecting swipes

## When to choose
- you have an existing jQuery codebase and need touch gesture support
- you need swipe and pinch detection with configurable thresholds
- you want desktop mouse-drag fallback for the same gestures

## When to avoid
- you are building a modern framework app without jQuery
- you need pointer-events-based gesture handling in vanilla JS
- the project requires actively maintained dependencies

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, mobile-development
- platform: browser, cross-platform
