index Introduction /sdks

In order to connect your application to Unleash you will need a client SDK (software developer kit) for your programming language and an API token. The SDK will handle connecting to the Unleash server instance and retrieving feature toggles based on your configuration. All versions of Unleash (OSS, Pro, and Enterprise) use the same client SDKs.

Unleash provides official client SDKs for a number of programming language. Additionally, our community have developed and contributed SDKs for other languages. So if you can't find your favorite language in the list of official SDKs, check out the list of clients written by our fantastic community.

Official SDKs

Server-side SDKs:

Server-side clients run on your server and communicate directly with your Unleash instance. We provide these official clients:

Front-end SDKs

For security and performance reasons, the front-end SDKs do not communicate directly with your Unleash instance. Instead, they go via the Unleash Proxy.

Server-side SDK compatibility table

The below table shows what features the various server-side SDKs support. Note that certain features make sense only for some clients due to how the programming language works or due to how the client works.

Legend:

  • : Implemented
  • : Not yet implemented, but we're looking into it
  • : Not implemented, not planned
  • N/A: Not applicable to this SDK
