Adds test/benchmarks/ as a separate Go module so competitor deps
(go-telegram-bot-api/v5, telebot.v3, go-telegram/bot, telego,
echotron/v3) stay out of the root go.mod.
Hot paths covered:
- Webhook decode (small Update -> typed Update struct)
- Large unmarshal (Update with entities + reply markup + photo array)
- API round-trip (sendMessage against httptest.Server)
- Dispatch route (20 handlers, last-registered matches)
Results on Apple M4 Max / go1.26.2: ours wins 3 of 4 paths and is
2nd of 5 in the round-trip path. Full report at
docs/benchmarks/2026-05-10-comparison.md, raw output committed under
test/benchmarks/results/.
Caveats called out in the report:
- codec asymmetry (we ship goccy/go-json; competitors mostly stdlib)
- echotron call bench skipped — built-in rate limiter not externally
configurable; would measure throttling, not the library
- dispatch bench limited to libs with a public sync entry point
(ours, telebot, gobot); gotba has no dispatcher, telego/echotron
use channel/per-chat paradigms not directly comparable
Also gitignores docs/superpowers/ (local brainstorm/spec scratch)
and regenerates docs/reference/dispatch.md after the new
Router.Process method.
A fully-generated, strongly-typed Go client for the Telegram Bot API.
* 176 methods + 301 types generated from Bot API v10.0
* 1408 auto-generated tests (8 scenarios per method)
* Typed unions throughout — no 'any' in the public surface
* Pluggable HTTP transport and JSON codec (default goccy/go-json)
* Built-in retry middleware honouring Telegram's retry_after
* Generic dispatcher with filters and conversation handlers
* Self-verifying codegen pipeline (regen → audit → emit → run tests)
* 14 example bots covering common patterns
