An SDK (Software Development Kit)

is a set of tools and libraries that
allow developers to create software
applications for a specific platform.

It usually includes many pre-built

components, such as APIs and
libraries, which makes it easier for
developers to get started quickly.

Unlike an API, an SDK provides

more than just access to the
features or data of an application

SDK also provides tools and libraries

that make developing applications
much faster and easier.

communicate with each other while an SDK
helps developers create applications with
the help of pre-built components.
