# Software Development Toolkit (SDK) Overview

The Digital Commerce Software Development Toolkit (SDK) is a JavaScript library that abstracts and simplifies the use of Digital Commerce APIs. The SDK improves usability and reduces the effort required to develop compelling user interfaces by hiding complex API semantics inside the SDK interface.

The SDK comes packaged with a sample application that you can use to experiment with a typical Digital Commerce application. Using the sample application requires no experience other than familiarity with Digital Commerce. To develop your own Digital Commerce application, or to modify the sample application, requires web development experience and experience using JavaScript.

You can access installation instructions for the sample application here: [Digital Commerce SDK Installation](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/industries/cme/guide/comms-t-digital-commerce-sdk-installation.md)

For a list of SDK coding examples, see [SDK Usage Examples (Winter '20 version)](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/industries/cme/guide/comms-t-sdk-usage-exampleswinter20-version-.md).
