This directory is home to everything needed to build the DSharpPlus core library, that is, the user-facing convenience library without extension libraries. This includes the serialization models, the REST abstractions and implementation, the Gateway abstractions and implementation, as well as the libraries and tools needed to wrap these components into a well-curated, convenient library for end users.

These components are generally included privately in the main library. If end users wish to consume these libraries directly, they must reference them directly, not transiently through our main library.

Because it is impossible to type-forward from a privately included library, some libraries must be included publicly. These libraries are, therefore, versioned with the main library, and they contain a notice mentioning this fact.
