## What it is
The official documentation repository for the Discord Developer Platform, covering bots, apps, Activities, and the Social SDK, written in MDX and rendered with Mintlify. It serves as the canonical reference for third-party developers building integrations on Discord.

## Use cases

## When to choose
- you are building a bot, app, or integration on the Discord platform
- you need authoritative, up-to-date API reference material
- you want to contribute corrections or additions to Discord's developer docs
