# SDKs

> Explore SDKs for building blockchain applications. Use JavaScript, Python, and more to interact with the Stellar network and streamline development.

The SDK section is split into three categories:

* [Contract SDKs](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/tools/sdks/contract-sdks.md) that are used to build smart contracts that will be deployed to the Stellar network;
* [Client & XDR SDKs](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/tools/sdks/client-sdks.md) that are used by applications to interact with the network;
* [Build your own SDK](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/tools/sdks/build-your-own.md) that details the minimum requirements for building your own SDK.
