Features

• Connection management
  • Authentication
  • Automatic reconnect
  • Automatic keep-alive
• Correct message parsing[^1]
• Same message bypass for PRIVMSG
• Auto-complete tag names
• Latency measurement
• Strong type safety[^2]

[^1]: Some tag values can have a space in them, and the example parser by Twitch will not correctly handle that case. [^2]: The library uses string and template literal types extensively, for example to ensure that a channel has the # prefix - similar usage of these advanced type features simplifies the internals of the library greatly, and contributes towards making it less error prone to use.
