# WCE Documentation  

Welcome to **WCE (WhatsApp Chatbot Engine)**, your ultimate solution for building efficient, scalable, and template-driven WhatsApp chatbots. 

Whether you're a Python enthusiast or a Java aficionado, WCE offers two robust engines—**PyWCE** for Python and **JaWCE** for Java — 

designed to cater to your development preferences without compromising functionality or performance.  

## What is WCE?  

It is a unified framework that simplifies the creation of WhatsApp chatbots through a **template-driven approach** (Checkout more example templates under [resources](/resources)). 

It abstracts the complexities of managing chat workflows and integrates seamlessly with developer-defined business logic using **reflective APIs**.  

The framework empowers developers to:  

- **Design Conversational Templates**: YAML-defined templates that map out your chatbot's conversational flow.  

- **Hook Business Logic**: Integrate your custom logic effortlessly using reflective APIs.  

- **Leverage WhatsApp’s Cloud API**: Build reliable chatbots with WhatsApp's powerful messaging platform.  

Whether you're looking to create a customer service assistant, automate order processing, or build a dynamic chatbot for your business, WCE provides the tools you need to succeed.  

## Why Choose WCE?  

### 🚀 **Template-Driven Design**  

Define your chatbot's flow using YAML templates, making it easy to visualize and update conversation logic without diving into complex codebases.  

### ⚙️ **Flexible APIs**  

Both **PyWCE** and **JaWCE** share a similar API structure, ensuring a seamless transition for developers working across Python and Java.  

### 🔗 **Reflective API Integration**  

Hook your business logic with minimal configuration. WCE’s reflective API maps functions to template hooks dynamically, letting you focus on your application’s core features.

- **PyWCE**: Optimized for Python developers, leveraging Python’s simplicity and rich libraries.  

- **JawCE**: Tailored for Java developers, integrating seamlessly with Java's robust enterprise features.  

### 📦 **Modular and Scalable**  

Each engine is modular, enabling you to start small and scale effortlessly as your chatbot grows in complexity or user base.
