# SDKs Documentation

PubNub offers a comprehensive suite of software development kits (SDKs). Each SDK integrates with the [PubNub application programming interface (API)](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/sdks/rest-api) to add real-time communication to your apps.

:::note Postman collection
Use the PubNub Postman collection to explore and test the PubNub API quickly. Access it in [PubNub's Workspace](https://www.postman.com/pubnub-api/pubnub-s-workspace/collection/l2hxvr2/pubnub-api). For setup and examples, see the related [blog post](https://www.pubnub.com/blog/announcing-pubnubs-postman-collection/).

##### Core SDKs vs Chat SDKs

**Core** SDKs provide real-time building blocks for any use case (for example, chat, Internet of Things (IoT), and logistics). Core SDKs connect directly to PubNub's real-time network.

**Chat** SDKs provide higher-level, chat-focused APIs to help you build chat features faster. Explore Chat SDKs [here](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/chat/overview).

## 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.

* [Kotlin](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/sdks/kotlin)
* [Java](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/sdks/java)
* [Swift](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/sdks/swift)
* [Objective-C](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/sdks/objective-c)
* [Unity](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/sdks/unity)
* [C#](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/sdks/c-sharp)
* [C# PCL](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/sdks/c-sharp)
* [Dart](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/sdks/dart)
* [Asyncio](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/sdks/asyncio)

## 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.
