Though Botan is written in C++ it is possible to use it from some other languages, including:

Ready To Use

  • C89 - Available out of the box in the header ffi.h. This C interface is also intended to be the preferred way of binding Botan to other languages, as it communicates exclusively through function calls operating on opaque structs, and without transferring ownership of memory. This makes it easy to call using ctypes-style FFI libraries.
  • Python - Included in the distribution.
  • Ruby
  • Rust
  • Haskell

Experimental/Work In Progress

Abandoned?

Wanted

  • Chicken Scheme
  • Swift
  • Dart

Translations

  • There is a translation of Botan into D which has not been reviewed by Botan's developers but may be of interest to D programmers
