What is Software Development Kit?
 

An SDK kit includes instructions that allow developers to create systems and develop applications.

It has one of the main functionalities in its name, “kit”! SDKs provide information such as libraries, source code, documentation, templates, and more.

An example of an SDK would be AWS SDK for Java which provides a set of libraries that are consistent and familiar to Java developers.
