=======
`Delta Chat <https://delta.chat/>`_ provides two kinds of Python bindings
to the `Rust Core <https://github.com/chatmail/core>`_:
JSON-RPC bindings and CFFI bindings.
When starting a new project it is recommended to use JSON-RPC bindings,
which are used in the Delta Chat Desktop app through generated Typescript-bindings.
The Python JSON-RPC bindings are maintained by Delta Chat core developers.
Most existing bot projects and many tests in Delta Chat's own core library
still use the CFFI-bindings, and it is going to be maintained certainly also in 2024.
New APIs might however only appear in the JSON-RPC bindings,
as the CFFI bindings are increasingly in maintenance-only mode.
