Definition
A Software Development Kit (SDK) is a set of code in the form of a library or utility, that development can use in other to easily integrate another piece of software.
Instead of just providing a document describing how another team can implement some piece of software, they anticipate the possible use cases and create boilerplate [→] code that others can then use.
Use cases and Examples
A popular use of SDKs is to integrate API [→] services like the one payment processors [→] provide.
