# Using Views with a third-party data store
Your Drupal website’s “classic” SQL database is far from being the only possible data store for the Views. There are useful data source plugins ready for Drupal 8 — Views XML Backend, EntityFieldQuery Views Backend, Socrata, Elasticsearch Connector, Google Analytics Reports, and more.
# Slideshows and carousels
Make your website even more attractive by creating slideshows and carousels, which can include various kinds of content and be responsive.
Add-on modules for the Views like Views Slideshow, Slick Carousel, Slick Views, and Views Bootstrap will help you with it.
# Contextual filtering
Among the great filtering and sorting options of the Views, there’s an option to set up content-based filtering based on dynamic information. For example, you can display all content created by certain users. Contextual filters are very convenient because the values are fetched programmatically or via an URL.
# Embedding Views
Sometimes it’s necessary to embed Views in your pages using PHP code. For this, there is a special views_embed_view() function.
