## What it is
D++ (DPP) is a lightweight, modern C++ library for the Discord API, supporting API v10 with efficient caching, sharding, clustering, slash commands, and voice with end-to-end encryption. It is production-proven on large bots like TriviaBot and Sporks and ships prebuilt packages for Windows, Linux, and Raspberry Pi.

## Use cases
- build a discord bot in c++
- handle slash commands and interactions
- run a sharded discord bot for many guilds
- send and receive voice audio on discord
- create a low-memory discord bot
- cluster discord gateway shards in one process
- add discord bot support to an existing c++ application

## When to choose
- you want a C++ Discord library with a small memory footprint
- you need sharding/clustering for large-scale bots
- you need voice support including E2EE (DAVE)
- you want prebuilt packages or package-manager installs (vcpkg, Conan, Homebrew, AUR)

## When to avoid
- you are not writing in C++
- you need a higher-level bot framework with plugin ecosystems in Python or JavaScript
- you need a self-hosted chat platform rather than a Discord API client

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: websocket, http-client, serialization, audio-processing, sdk
- domain: messaging-platforms, developer-tools, apis
- platform: windows, cpp, cross-platform
- tags: discord-api, discord-bot, discord-api-v10, etf, slash-commands, voice-support, sharding, clustering, api-wrapper, caching, automation, linux, macos, docker
