## What it is
Eris is a Node.js library for interfacing with the Discord API, providing a lightweight wrapper for building bots. It supports gateway events, REST actions, and optional voice functionality.

## Use cases
- build a discord bot in nodejs
- create a discord bot that responds to messages
- interact with the discord api from javascript
- make a lightweight discord bot without a heavy framework
- add voice support to a discord bot
- listen to discord gateway events

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, dependency-light Discord library for Node.js
- you need fine-grained control over Discord API interactions
- you prefer a minimal wrapper over full-featured bot frameworks like discord.js

## When to avoid
- you want batteries-included bot framework features like command handlers out of the box
- you are building bots in a language other than JavaScript/Node.js
- you need extensive community plugins and tutorials that larger ecosystems provide
