## What it is
Telebot is a Go framework for building Telegram bots on top of the Telegram Bot API. It provides a concise API with command routing, middleware, pollers, file handling, keyboards, inline mode, and callback support.

## Use cases
- build a telegram bot in go
- handle telegram bot commands with routing
- add middleware to a telegram bot
- send files and photos from a telegram bot
- create inline keyboards and handle callbacks
- implement telegram inline query mode
- run a long-polling telegram bot

## When to choose
- you are writing a Telegram bot in Go and want an idiomatic, concise API
- you need command routing, middleware, and keyboard support out of the box
- you want a highload-ready bot framework with good performance

## When to avoid
- you need a bot framework for platforms other than Telegram
- you prefer a thin 1:1 wrapper over the raw Telegram Bot API
- your project is not in Go
