This directory contains basic examples of TDLib usage from different programming languages and examples of library building for different platforms.
If you are looking for documentation of all available TDLib methods, see the [td_api.tl](https://github.com/tdlib/td/blob/master/td/generate/scheme/td_api.tl) scheme or the
automatically generated [HTML documentation](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/td__api_8h.html) for a list of all available TDLib
[methods](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/classtd_1_1td__api_1_1_function.html) and [classes](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/classtd_1_1td__api_1_1_object.html).
Also take a look at our [Getting Started](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/getting-started) tutorial for a description of basic TDLib concepts.
TDLib can be easily used from almost any programming language on any platform. See a [TDLib build instructions generator](https://tdlib.github.io/td/build.html) for detailed instructions on how to build TDLib.
TDLib can be used from Python through the [JSON](https://github.com/tdlib/td#using-json) interface.
Convenient Python wrappers already exist for our JSON interface.
If you use modern Python >= 3.6, take a look at [python-telegram](https://github.com/alexander-akhmetov/python-telegram).
The wrapper uses the full power of asyncio, has a good documentation and has several examples. It can be installed through pip or used in a Docker container.
TDLib can be compiled to WebAssembly or asm.js and used in a browser from JavaScript. See [tdweb](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example/web) as a convenient wrapper for TDLib in a browser
For example, take a look at [Airgram](https://github.com/airgram/airgram) – modern TDLib framework for TypeScript/JavaScript, or
at [tdl](https://github.com/Bannerets/tdl), which provides a convenient, fully-asynchronous interface for interaction with TDLib and contains a bunch of examples.
You can also see [TdNode](https://github.com/puppy0cam/TdNode), [tglib](https://github.com/nodegin/tglib), [node-tdlib](https://github.com/wfjsw/node-tdlib), [tdlnode](https://github.com/fonbah/tdlnode),
[Paper Plane](https://github.com/BlackSuited/paper-plane), or [node-tlg](https://github.com/dilongfa/node-tlg) for other examples of TDLib JSON interface integration with Node.js.
TDLib can be used from the Go programming language through the [JSON](https://github.com/tdlib/td#using-json) interface and Cgo, and can be linked either statically or dynamically.
Convenient Go wrappers already exist for our JSON interface.
For example, take a look at [go-tdlib](https://github.com/zelenin/go-tdlib) or [go-tdlib](https://github.com/Arman92/go-tdlib), which provide a convenient TDLib client, a generator for TDLib API classes and contain many examples.
TDLib can be used from the Java programming language through native [JNI](https://github.com/tdlib/td#using-java) binding.
We provide a generator for JNI bridge methods and Java classes for all TDLib API methods and objects.
See [example/java](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example/java) for an example of using TDLib from desktop Java along with detailed building and usage instructions.
To use TDLib to create Android Java applications, use our [prebuilt library for Android](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/tdlib.zip).
You can also see [JTDLib](https://github.com/ErnyTech/JTDLib) for another example of Java wrapper for TDLib.

TDLib can be used from the Swift programming language through the [JSON](https://github.com/tdlib/td#using-json) interface and can be linked statically or dynamically.
See [TDLib-iOS](https://github.com/leoMehlig/TDLib-iOS) or [tdlib-swift](https://github.com/modestman/tdlib-swift), which provide convenient TDLib clients with automatically generated and fully-documented classes for all TDLib API methods and objects.

## Using TDLib in C projects
TDLib can be used from the C programming language through the [JSON](https://github.com/tdlib/td#using-json) interface and can be linked statically or dynamically.
You can also try to use our [C](https://github.com/tdlib/td/blob/master/td/telegram/td_c_client.h) client, which was used by the private TDLib-based version of [telegram-cli](https://github.com/vysheng/tg).
You can use TDLib from any other programming language using [tdbot](https://github.com/vysheng/tdbot) or [TDLib JSON CLI](https://github.com/oott123/tdlib-json-cli),
which provide a command line tool for interaction with TDLIb using the [JSON](https://github.com/tdlib/td#using-json) interface through stdin and stdout.
You can use this method to use TDLib, for example, from Brainfuck (unfortunately, we haven't seen examples of sending a Telegram message through TDLib on Brainfuck yet).
Alternatively, you can use the TDLib [JSON](https://github.com/tdlib/td#using-json) interface directly from your programming language.
Feel free to create an issue, if you have created a valuable TDLib binding or a TDLib client in some programming language and want it to be added to this list of examples.
