About:
Tdlib is a comprehensive, cross-platform library for building Telegram clients. It provides a robust, type-safe API for interacting with the Telegram API, handling complex MTProto protocol details and encryption. This enables developers to create secure and efficient Telegram applications without dealing with low-level networking complexities.

Key Features:

Full Telegram API implementation
Asynchronous and multi-threaded design
Supports encryption and secure connections
Cross-platform compatibility (Linux, macOS, Windows, etc.)
Generates bindings for multiple languages

Use Cases:

Developing custom Telegram clients for desktop or mobile
Building Telegram bots with high performance requirements
Integrating Telegram functionality into existing applications
Creating automated tools for data analysis or account management

Alternatives:

Telethon – Python-based library; easier for Python devs but generally less performant than Tdlib's C++ core.
GramJS – JavaScript/TypeScript implementation of MTProto; suitable for Node.js environments.
