Core SDKs vs Chat SDKs

Client​

Use these SDKs to build client applications for iOS, Android, and the web, including Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android, and JavaScript for browsers.

By using publish/subscribe messaging, these SDKs deliver dynamic content and state updates in real time for chat, analytics, and other use cases.

IoT device control​

Use these SDKs to directly control and manage devices for Internet of Things (IoT) projects.

These SDKs integrate with a wide range of hardware to support low-latency data exchange and device management. Example uses include smart home control, remote monitoring in agriculture, and smart city infrastructure.

Server​

Use these server SDKs to build backend services and server-to-server workflows.

The SDKs support scalable, secure systems and help you implement tasks such as processing analytics, handling user authentication, and integrating with databases.
