SDK (Software Development Kit)

A Software Development Kit (SDK) is a comprehensive set of tools and libraries provided by platform developers to aid in the creation of software applications for specific environments. SDKs typically include APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), documentation, sample code, and development environments, making it easier for developers to build, test, and deploy applications. They are designed to streamline the development process by offering pre-built components and functionalities that can be integrated into new applications. SDKs are crucial for ensuring compatibility and optimizing performance within the target platform, whether it be for operating systems, hardware, or specific software environments.
