## What it is
A Node.js client library for the Facebook Messenger Platform that provides a Bot class with webhook middleware, message sending, and profile fetching. It simplifies building Facebook Messenger bots with plain Node.js HTTP servers.

## Use cases
- build a facebook messenger bot in node.js
- handle messenger webhook verification and events
- send messages to messenger users from a server
- echo bot for facebook messenger
- integrate messenger platform api into node app

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, minimal Node.js wrapper for the Messenger Platform API
- you want webhook verification and spoof checking built in
- you prefer wiring bots into plain Node http servers

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained Messenger SDK support (last release 2020)
- you want a full-featured bot framework with NLU or multi-channel support
- you are not using Node.js >= 4
