zSlide

zSlide is a JavaScript library for implementing slide-based user interfaces in web pages. It aims to be lightweight and dependency-free, suitable for image carousels, sliders, and step-through presentations. The API is designed to be straightforward, typically controlled via a small initialization call and data attributes to configure slides and transitions.

Features commonly supported include touch and mouse drag, keyboard navigation, responsive behavior, and smooth transitions via CSS transforms. The library is modular, so developers can enable only the parts they need and can integrate with vanilla JavaScript or other frameworks using adapters.

Accessibility considerations are addressed by providing appropriate roles and focus management where supported, and autoplay can be paused on user interaction. Cross-browser compatibility emphasizes modern browsers with CSS3 features, with older browsers potentially lacking some effects.

zSlide has been used in various projects seeking a lightweight slider solution without large dependencies. See also related concepts such as image carousels and web sliders.
