# 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).
|
||
You can also see 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. Choose your preferred programming language to see examples and a detailed description:

## 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 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.
|
||
|
||
For older Python versions you can use [demo-pytdlib](https://github.com/i-Naji/demo-pytdlib).
|
||
This wrapper contains generator for TDLib API classes and basic class 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.
|
||
|
||

|
||
## Using TDLib in JavaScript projects
|
||
|
||
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 [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 [node-tdlib](https://github.com/wfjsw/node-tdlib), [tglib](https://github.com/nodegin/tglib),
|
||
[Paper Plane](https://github.com/BlackSuited/paper-plane) and [example/javascript](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example/javascript) for other examples of TDLib JSON interface integration with Node.js.
|
||
|
||
TDLib also can be compiled to WebAssembly and used in a browser from JavaScript, but this functionality isn't production-ready yet. We will publish building and usage instructions later.
|
||
|
||
<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 and
|
||
[example/go](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example/go/main.go) for a proof of concept example of using the TDLib JSON interface from Go.
|
||
|
||

|
||
## 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.
|
||
|
||

|
||
## Using TDLib in C# projects
|
||
|
||
TDLib provides a native [.NET](https://github.com/tdlib/td#using-dotnet) interface through `C++/CLI` and `C++/CX`.
|
||
See [example/uwp](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example/uwp) for an example of building TDLib SDK for the Universal Windows Platform and an example of its usage from C#.
|
||
See [example/csharp](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example/csharp) for an example of building TDLib with `C++/CLI` support and an example of TDLib usage from C# on Windows.
|
||
|
||
If you want to write a cross-platform C# application using .Net Core, see [tdsharp](https://github.com/x2bool/tdsharp). It uses our [JSON](https://github.com/tdlib/td#using-json) interface,
|
||
provides an asynchronous interface for interaction with TDLib, automatically generated classes for TDLib API and has some examples.
|
||
|
||
Also see [Unigram](https://github.com/UnigramDev/Unigram), which is a full-featured client rewritten from scratch in C# using TDLib SDK for Universal Windows Platform in less than 2 months.
|
||
|
||
<a name="cxx"></a>
|
||
## Using TDLib in C++ projects
|
||
|
||
TDLib has a simple and convenient C++11-interface for sending and receiving requests and can be statically linked to your application.
|
||
|
||
See [example/cpp](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example/cpp) for examples of TDLib usage from C++.
|
||
[td_example.cpp](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example/cpp/td_example.cpp) contains an example of authorization, processing new incoming messages, getting a list of chats and sending a text message.
|
||
|
||
See also the source code of [Depecher](https://github.com/blacksailer/depecher) – a Telegram app for Sailfish OS, and [Telegram Plus](https://github.com/dpniel/tg-plus) – a Qt-client for Ubuntu touch, both of which are based on TDLib.

<a name="other"></a>
|
||
## Using TDLib from other programming languages
|
||
|
||
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.
