## What it is
Discord.Net is an unofficial asynchronous .NET library for interfacing with the Discord API, with modular packages for REST, WebSocket, commands, and interactions. It lets developers build Discord bots and integrations in C#/.NET.

## Use cases
- build a discord bot in c#
- create slash commands for discord
- send messages to discord channels from .net
- handle discord events with websockets
- manage discord guilds and roles programmatically
- make a moderation bot for discord

## When to choose
- you are building a Discord bot or integration in C#/.NET
- you need full Discord API coverage including WebSocket gateway events
- you want modular packages so you can use only REST or only webhooks

## When to avoid
- you are building bots in another language like Python or JavaScript
- you need an officially supported Discord SDK with vendor support
- you need a no-code or hosted bot solution
