`Discord.Net.Core` provides a set of interfaces that models Discord's |
|
|
|
API. These interfaces are consistent throughout all implementations of |
|
|
|
Discord.Net, and if you are writing an implementation-agnostic library |
|
|
|
or addon, you can rely on the core interfaces to ensure that your |
