# TDLib usage and build examples
|
||
|
||
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.

## Using TDLib in Python projects
|
||
|
||
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 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.
|
||
You can also try a fork [python-telegram](https://github.com/iTeam-co/python-telegram) of this library.
|
||
|
||
If you want to use TDLib with asyncio and Python >= 3.9, take a look at [aiotdlib](https://github.com/pylakey/aiotdlib).
|
||
This wrapper contains automatically generated fully-documented classes for all TDLib API types and functions and provides set of helper methods which makes work with TDLib much simpler.
|
||
|
||
For older Python versions you can use [pytdlib](https://github.com/pytdlib/pytdlib).
|
||
This wrapper contains generator for TDLib API classes and basic interface for interaction with TDLib.
|
||
|
||
You can also check out [example/python/tdjson_example.py](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example/python/tdjson_example.py) and
|
||
[tdlib-python](https://github.com/JunaidBabu/tdlib-python) for some very basic examples of TDLib JSON interface integration with Python.
|
||
|
||
<a name="javascript"></a>
|
||
## Using TDLib in JavaScript projects
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
and [telegram-react](https://github.com/evgeny-nadymov/telegram-react) as an example of a TDLib-based Telegram client.
|
||
|
||
TDLib can be used from Node.js through the [JSON](https://github.com/tdlib/td#using-json) interface.
|
||
|
||
Convenient Node.js wrappers already exist for our JSON interface.
|
||
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 also from NativeScript through the [JSON](https://github.com/tdlib/td#using-json) interface.
|
||
See [nativescript-tglib](https://github.com/arpit2438735/nativescript-tglib) as an example of a NativeScript library for building Telegram clients.
|
||
|
||
<a name="go"></a>
|
||
## Using TDLib in Go projects
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
You can also see [go-tdjson](https://github.com/L11R/go-tdjson) for another example of TDLib JSON interface integration with Go.
|
||
|
||
<a name="java"></a>
|
||
## Using TDLib in Java projects
|
||
|
||
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.

|
||
|
||

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.
