## What it is
A Java SDK for the WeChat personal account (unofficial) API, letting developers build bots that log in locally, listen for messages via annotation bindings, and send text, images, and files. It targets JDK7+ and is distributed via Maven.

## Use cases
- build a wechat auto-reply bot in java
- send wechat messages programmatically from a personal account
- listen for incoming wechat messages and respond
- send images or files to wechat contacts via code
- create a wechat group chat bot

## When to choose
- you need a simple Java library to automate a WeChat personal account
- you want annotation-based message handling with minimal setup

## When to avoid
- you need official or currently working WeChat API access - the project is unmaintained since 2018 and WeChat protocols have changed
- you need WeChat official account (enterprise) API support
- you need long-term support or security guarantees
