Mobile-friendly JSON Carousel In jQuery - Slider2

Just another jQuery based slider/swiper that dynamically renders a responsive, touch-enabled, cross-platform carousel slider from an array of images with links defined in a JSON file.

The carousel will automatically slide through images and you can also switch between images by clicking left/right arrows or via touch swipe.

How to use it:

1. Load the necessary jQuery JavaScript library and jQuery easing plugin from CDN.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.min.js" 
        integrity="sha384-vk5WoKIaW/vJyUAd9n/wmopsmNhiy+L2Z+SBxGYnUkunIxVxAv/UtMOhba/xskxh" 
        crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-easing/1.4.1/jquery.easing.min.js"></script>

2. Build the HTML structure for the carousel.

<div class="slider_wrapper">
  <div class="slider">
  </div> <!-- /.slider -->
  <div class="slider_objects"></div>
</div>

3. Insert an array of objects containing image paths and links in the /data/file_name.json.

{
    "images":
    [
        {"file_name":"https://source.unsplash.com/1600x900/?fitness","alt":"","href":"#"},
        {"file_name":"https://source.unsplash.com/1600x900/?yoga","alt":"","href":"#"},
        {"file_name":"https://source.unsplash.com/1600x900/?workout","alt":"","href":"#"},
        {"file_name":"https://source.unsplash.com/1600x900/?running","alt":"","href":"#"},
        {"file_name":"https://source.unsplash.com/1600x900/?girl","alt":"","href":"#"},
        {"file_name":"https://source.unsplash.com/1600x900/?cat","alt":"","href":"#"}
    ]
}

4. Load the Slider2 plugin's JavaScript and CSS in the document. That's it.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
<script src="js/main.js"></script>
