SDK

Software Development Kit

Definition

An SDK is a collection of tools, libraries, documentation, and code samples that developers use to build applications for a specific platform or service. SDKs abstract away low-level API details, providing language-idiomatic interfaces that accelerate development.

Most developer-tools companies ship SDKs for major languages alongside their REST APIs.
