🆚 Swiper vs. Zepto

Swiper is a modern touch slider library for building responsive sliders and carousels with hardware-accelerated transitions.

It offers touch and swipe navigation optimized for mobile, native-like momentum and resistance effects, support for vertical and horizontal modes, a modular plugin system with pagination, navigation, thumbnails, and parallax, accessibility features, and integrations with popular frameworks such as React, Vue, and Angular.

Zepto is a lightweight and modular open-source JavaScript library with a largely jQuery-compatible API, designed for modern browsers and optimized for fast execution and small file size.

It provides modules for DOM manipulation, event handling, Ajax and JSONP requests, and simple animation effects, supports a chainable API similar to jQuery, and can be customized through a modular build system that includes only the required components for a project.
