What is Software Development Kit (SDK)?

A software development kit (SDK) is a specialized suite of software development tools created in order to enable software engineers to create digital applications and perform other useful functions. Most SDKs include common software development tools such as compilers, debuggers, and software frameworks, which make it easier for developers to design and build new software. There are a wide array of available SDKs catering to different platforms and use cases within the blockchain development scene and beyond.
