BxSlider module integrates the bxSlider library with Field formatters. Often used for showing photos on e-commerce, classified, real estate sites.
In Drupal 8, new fields can be added to Block, to Taxonomy, etc. - so the bxSlider formatter can be used very widely. Also the BxSlider formatter can be used within Views.
