A high performance zero dependency raw library for interacting with the Discord API.

This project aims to provide a basic platform for building high-efficiency bots and libraries in NodeJS. Its base components are plug and play standalone files fully written with core node.js modules, without a single third-party dependency, and consistently outperform other more established solutions.

Tests and contributions are welcome.

• Rest Client
• Interaction Server
• Shard Websocket
• Identify Controller
• Voice Websocket?
• Basic Caching?
• Basic types
• Internal Sharder
• External Sharder
• Ratelimit Manager?
• Docs
• Benchmarks

Not everyting in this list is guaranteed to be done. items in questionmarks are ideas and possibilities but not a priority and not necessarily something that will be part of this project.

• Base components (standalone classes with zero dependencies)
  • RestClient - An http client for interacting with the discord rest API.
  • WebsocketShard - A websocket client to receive real-time events from discord.
  • InteractionServer - A webhook server for receiving Discord interactions.
• Utility components (higher level classes built on top of one or more base components)
  • InternalSharder - A utility class to manage multiple websocket shards
  • IdentifyController - A utility class to manage gateway identifies

The following benchmark shows how many events per second can each library process with a single shard. It demonstrates the performance advantages of using the raw discord data directly as opposed to transforming it into complex classes and structures.
