## What it is
A Go library that implements the WeChat web API (login, contacts, message send/receive) on top of a plugin-based message framework for building WeChat robots. It is explicitly a library rather than a runnable program, with bundled plugins for face recognition, GIF search, translation, cross-group message forwarding, and more.

## Use cases
- build a wechat bot in go
- send and receive wechat messages programmatically
- automate replies to wechat messages
- wechat web api client for golang
- forward messages between wechat groups automatically
- add plugins like translation or gif search to a wechat account

## When to choose
- your WeChat account can still log in at wx.qq.com (accounts that used web WeChat before mid-2017)
- you want a Go library with a simple plugin system and full control over message handlers
- you need multi-account (multi-open) bot sessions or relogin without re-scanning the QR code
- you want to run a bot on Linux, macOS, Windows, or even a Raspberry Pi

## When to avoid
- your WeChat account was created after web WeChat access was restricted — login will fail for most modern accounts
- you need an officially supported, ToS-compliant WeChat integration for production
- you need an actively maintained project — the web protocol this depends on is deprecated and the last release was 2022
