Kord is a coroutine-based, modularized implementation of the Discord API, written 100% in Kotlin.

If you have any feedback, we'd love to hear it, hit us up on discord or write up an issue if you have any suggestions!

Kord was created as an answer to the frustrations of writing Discord bots with other JVM libraries, which either use thread-blocking code or verbose and scope restrictive reactive systems. We believe an API written from the ground up in Kotlin with coroutines can give you the best of both worlds: The conciseness of imperative code with the concurrency of reactive code.

Aside from coroutines, we also wanted to give the user full access to lower level APIs. Sometimes you have to do some unconventional things, and we want to allow you to do those in a safe and supported way.

• Discord Gateway
• Discord Rest API
• High level abstraction + caching
• Discord Voice
• Support for multiple processes #7

Right now, Kord should provide a full mapping of the non-voice API on Kotlin/JVM and Kotlin/JS and an experimental mapping of the Voice API on Kotlin/JVM

• Wiki

¹ These artifacts only supports Gradle Version 5.3 or higher, for older Gradle versions and Maven please append -jvm
² For Native Support please see #69
³ For Voice JS please see #69

Replace {version} with the latest version number on maven central.

For Snapshots replace {version} with {branch}-SNAPSHOT

e.g: feature-amazing-thing-SNAPSHOT for the branch feature/amazing-thing

For Snapshots for the branch main replace {version} with {nextPlannedVersion}-SNAPSHOT (see nextPlannedVersion in gradle.properties)

Currently we're supporting both Kotlin/JVM and Kotlin/JS for the majority of our API, for more information check Modules and #69

Yes.
