## What it is
Official Meta sample applications and code snippets demonstrating how to send and receive messages with the Messenger Platform across Node.js, Python, and Java. It accompanies the Get Started quickstart and Messenger API knowledge bank articles.

## Use cases
- build a facebook messenger bot
- send messages to facebook and instagram users via api
- set up messenger platform webhooks
- learn the messenger api quickstart
- integrate messenger into a python or java app
- example code for receiving messenger messages

## When to choose
- you are new to the Messenger Platform and want a guided quickstart
- you need reference implementations of sending/receiving messages or webhooks
- you want language-specific examples in Node.js, Python, or Java

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready chatbot framework rather than samples
- you are building for messaging platforms other than Messenger/Instagram
- you need permissively licensed code you can freely redistribute (license is fully copyrighted)

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: chatbot, webhook, http-client, sdk
- domain: messaging-platforms, chatbots, developer-tools, apis
