## What it is
Teloxide is a full-featured Rust framework for building Telegram bots, built on the dptree chain-of-responsibility pattern for declarative update processing. It supports long polling and webhooks, strongly typed command parsing, and pluggable dialogue persistence with Redis, SQLite, and PostgreSQL storages.

## Use cases
- build a telegram bot in rust
- handle telegram bot commands with typed arguments
- create multi-step conversation dialogues for a bot
- run a telegram bot via webhooks or long polling
- persist bot conversation state in redis or sqlite
- write a telegram bot with async rust and tokio

## When to choose
- you want to write a Telegram bot in Rust with a declarative, type-safe API
- you need dialogue state management with pluggable persistence backends
- you want broad Telegram Bot API coverage including recent versions
- you prefer async/await with tokio and strong compile-time guarantees

## When to avoid
- you are building bots for platforms other than Telegram
- you need a minimal single-file bot script and prefer a simpler language like Python
- your project requires a stable 1.0 API - teloxide is still pre-1.0 with frequent breaking releases

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, middleware, routing, state-management, http-client
- domain: chatbots, messaging-platforms, backend, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: telegram-bot, telegram-bot-api, long-polling, webhooks, dialogues, dptree, tokio, async, web-server
