NimCord

Documenation

You can generate documenation by running generate_docs.bat/sh (depending on your system). Documentation is outputted to the docs directory.

What makes NimCord different?

• Low memory usage.
• Even though its memory optimized, it's still easy to use without loosing any features.
• If an member, or channel, is somehow not in cache, it will request the object from the REST api and update the cache to ensure that your bot doesn't crash.
• Other libraries don't have a command handler built in and also doesn't have a event handler that supports multiple listeners.
