SDK

Definition

Software Development Kit -- a collection of tools, libraries, documentation, and code samples that developers use to build applications on a specific platform.

SDKs accelerate integration development by providing pre-built functions for common tasks like authentication, data retrieval, and event tracking. In the GTM context, SDKs are commonly used to embed analytics tracking, chat widgets, or in-app messaging into a product. Client-side SDKs (JavaScript, mobile) and server-side SDKs (Python, Node.js) serve different integration needs and have different performance and security characteristics.
