Developing With Tox

"C" Is For Core

The core of Tox is written in C. Don't know a lick of C? Don't worry, that won't preclude you from using the Tox API.

Tox has API wrappers in many languages

API bindings/wrappers are available for users of high-level languages so they too can use the Tox API. A list of available language wrappers for the Tox API:

• SharpTox (C#)
• golibtox (Go)
• Tox4j (Java)
• node-toxcore (Javascript)
• libtoxcore-racket (Racket)
• rstox (Rust)

Warning

These may not be 1-1 wrappers of API functions. You should read the documentation of your chosen wrapper for usage details.

Getting started in C

It's often easier to get to know the API in C to better understand it without wrapper abstractions.

Outdated wrappers

• DeepEnd (Objective-C)
• PyTox (Python)
• haskell-tox-core (Haskell)
• guile-toxcore (Guile)
• luatox (Lua)
• rust-tox (Rust)
