It can be easily used from almost any programming language. - -## Table of Contents -- [Features](#features) -- [Examples and documentation](#usage) -- [Dependencies](#dependencies) -- [Building](#building) -- [Installing dependencies](#installing-dependencies) -- [Using in CMake C++ projects](#using-cxx) -- [Using in Java projects](#using-java) -- [Using in .NET projects](#using-dotnet) -- [Using with other programming languages](#using-json) -- [License](#license) - -<a name="features"></a> -## Features - -`TDLib` has many advantages. Notably `TDLib` is: - -* **Cross-platform**: `TDLib` can be used on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, Windows Phone, WebAssembly, watchOS, tvOS, Tizen, Cygwin. It should also work on other *nix systems with or without minimal effort. -* **Multilanguage**: `TDLib` can be easily used with any programming language that is able to execute C functions. Additionally it already has native Java (using `JNI`) bindings and .NET (using `C++/CLI` and `C++/CX`) bindings. -* **Easy to use**: `TDLib` takes care of all network implementation details, encryption and local data storage. -* **High-performance**: in the [Telegram Bot API](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api), each `TDLib` instance handles more than 19000 active bots simultaneously. -* **Well-documented**: all `TDLib` API methods and public interfaces are fully documented. -* **Consistent**: `TDLib` guarantees that all updates are delivered in the right order. -* **Reliable**: `TDLib` remains stable on slow and unreliable Internet connections. -* **Secure**: all local data is encrypted using a user-provided encryption key. -* **Fully-asynchronous**: requests to `TDLib` don't block each other or anything else, responses are sent when they are available. - -<a name="usage"></a> -## Examples and documentation -Take a look at our [examples](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example) and [documentation](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/). - -<a name="dependencies"></a> -## Dependencies -`TDLib` depends on: - -* C++14 compatible compiler (Clang 3.4+, GCC 4.9+, MSVC 19.0+ (Visual Studio 2015+), Intel C++ Compiler 17+) -* OpenSSL -* zlib -* gperf (build only) -* CMake (3.0.2+, build only) -* PHP (optional, for documentation generation) -* Doxygen (optional, for documentation generation) - -<a name="building"></a> -## Building - -Install all `TDLib` dependencies as described in [Installing dependencies](#installing-dependencies). -Then enter directory containing `TDLib` sources and compile them using CMake: - -``` -mkdir build -cd build -cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. -cmake --build . -``` - -<a name="installing-dependencies"></a> -### Installing dependencies - -<a name="macos"></a> -#### macOS -* Install the latest Xcode command line tools. -* Install other dependencies, for example, using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh): -``` -brew install gperf cmake openssl -``` -* Build `TDLib` with CMake as explained in [building](#building). You may need to manually specify path to the installed OpenSSL to CMake, e.g., -``` -cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl/ .. -``` - -<a name="windows"></a> -#### Windows -* Download and install [gperf](https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/gperf/3.0.1/). Add the path to gperf.exe to the PATH environment variable. -* Install [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg#quick-start). -* Run the following commands to install `TDLib` dependencies using vcpkg: -``` -C:\src\vcpkg> .\vcpkg.exe install openssl:x64-windows openssl:x86-windows zlib:x64-windows zlib:x86-windows -``` -* Build `TDLib` with CMake as explained in [building](#building), but instead of `cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..` use -``` -cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:\src\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake .. -``` - -To build 64-bit `TDLib` using MSVC, you will need to additionally specify parameter `-A x64` to CMake. -To build `TDLib` in Release mode using MSVC, you will need to additionally specify parameter `--config Release` to the `cmake --build .` command. - -<a name="linux"></a> -#### Linux -* Install all dependencies using your package manager. - -<a name="using-cxx"></a> -## Using in CMake C++ projects -For C++ projects that use CMake, the best approach is to build `TDLib` as part of your project or to use a prebuilt installation. - -There are several libraries that you could use in your CMake project: - -* Td::TdJson, Td::TdJsonStatic — dynamic and static version of a JSON interface. This has a simple C interface, so it can be easily used with any programming language that is able to execute C functions. - See [td_json_client](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/td__json__client_8h.html) and [td_log](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/td__log_8h.html) documentation for more information. -* Td::TdStatic — static library with C++ interface for general usage. - See [Client](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/classtd_1_1_client.html) and [Log](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/classtd_1_1_log.html) documentation for more information. -* Td::TdCoreStatic — static library with low-level C++ interface intended mostly for internal usage. - See [ClientActor](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/classtd_1_1_client_actor.html) and [Log](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/classtd_1_1_log.html) documentation for more information. - -For example, part of your CMakeLists.txt may look like this: -``` -add_subdirectory(td) -target_link_libraries(YourTarget PRIVATE Td::TdStatic) -``` - -Or you could install `TDLib` and then reference it in your CMakeLists.txt like this: -``` -find_package(Td 1.2.0 REQUIRED) -target_link_libraries(YourTarget PRIVATE Td::TdStatic) -``` -See [example/cpp/CMakeLists.txt](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example/cpp/CMakeLists.txt). - -<a name="using-java"></a> -## Using in Java projects -`TDLib` provides native Java interface through JNI. To enable it, specify option `-DTD_ENABLE_JNI=ON` to CMake. - -See [example/java](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example/java) for example of using `TDLib` from Java and detailed build and usage instructions. - -<a name="using-dotnet"></a> -## Using in .NET projects -`TDLib` provides native .NET interface through `C++/CLI` and `C++/CX`. To enable it, specify option `-DTD_ENABLE_DOTNET=ON` to CMake. -.NET Core doesn't support `C++/CLI`, so if .NET Core is used, then `TDLib` JSON interface should be used through P/Invoke instead. - -See [example/csharp](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example/csharp) for example of using `TDLib` from C# and detailed build and usage instructions. -See [example/uwp](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example/uwp) for example of using `TDLib` from C# UWP application and detailed build and usage instructions for Visual Studio Extension "TDLib for Universal Windows Platform". - -When `TDLib` is built with `TD_ENABLE_DOTNET` option enabled, `C++` documentation is removed from some files. You need to checkout these files to return `C++` documentation back: -``` -git checkout td/telegram/Client.h td/telegram/Log.h td/tl/TlObject.h -``` - -<a name="using-json"></a> -## Using from other programming languages -`TDLib` provides efficient native C++, Java, and .NET interfaces. -But for most use cases we suggest to use the JSON interface, which can be easily used with any programming language that is able to execute C functions. -See [td_json_client](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/td__json__client_8h.html) and [td_log](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/td__log_8h.html) documentation for detailed JSON interface description, -scheme [td_api.tl](https://github.com/tdlib/td/blob/master/td/generate/scheme/td_api.tl) or autogenerated [HTML documentation](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/td__api_8h.html) for the list of all available `TDLib` methods and classes. - -See [example/python/tdjson_example.py](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example/python/tdjson_example.py) and [example/ruby/example.rb](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example/ruby/example.rb) for an example of such usage. - -<a name="license"></a> -## License -`TDLib` is licensed under the terms of the Boost Software License.
