What is Building SDKs?

Building SDKs (Software Development Kits) involves creating a set of tools, libraries, and documentation that help developers easily integrate and interact with a platform or service. A well-designed SDK abstracts the complexities of an API, providing a streamlined, user-friendly interface that enables developers to focus on building their applications rather than handling low-level technical details. It should be intuitive, well-documented, and robust, offering clear examples, error handling, and flexibility to suit different use cases.
