Does anybody know about the SDK with an example?

Question

I want to understand the SDK. I know it's a Software Development Kit. But I still have an issue with remembering what exactly it is. Can somebody please explain to make me understand?

Answer 1

An SDK (Software Development Kit) is a set of tools and libraries provided by a platform to help developers create applications faster and easier.

Example:

Imagine you're building an app and want to include a map feature. Instead of creating the entire map system yourself, you can use Google Maps SDK. The SDK gives you ready-made tools like showing the map, adding markers, and zooming in/out, saving you a lot of time.

Example in plain terms:

Without SDK: You write all the map functionality from scratch.

With SDK: You use Google’s pre-built methods to show and control the map in your app.

SDKs help by providing reusable components, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel for common tasks!

Here's a simple web example that integrates Google Maps API:
