messenger4j

This project is a MAINTAINABLE fork of original messenger4j project which is currently not maintained.

A Java library for building Chatbots on the Facebook Messenger Platform.

Using messenger4j is easy. Its modern object-oriented API is fully Java 8 compatible, expresses optionality, and is designed with immutability in mind. It is fast, powerful, and at roughly 180KB, the library is very light.

For more information on the Facebook Messenger Platform refer to the official documentation.

Please note that messenger4j 1.0.0 is a complete rewrite and has a lot of breaking changes.
Thanks for all your valuable feedback and effort to make this library even better.
