Use this guide to find different types of SDK content across the documentation portals.
The SDK reference contains items that are specific to the JavaScript SDK and don't have REST API equivalents:
- Core modules: Essential functionality for interacting with the Wix platform such as authentication and client setup.
- Host modules: APIs that allow you to interact with a Wix site when writing code for frontend environments such as the dashboard, editor, or site.
- Frontend modules: Frontend APIs for interacting with Wix sites and their features directly from the browser.
- Business solutions: Extensions and integrations such as dashboard plugins and dashboard pages, and specific backend APIs such as Data Items.
Service plugins and nearly all backend APIs have moved to the unified API reference.
Use the SDK reference when you need:
- Frontend JavaScript APIs for browser environments.
- Core SDK setup and configuration.
- Host-specific functionality like dashboard or editor integration.
- Dashboard plugins and custom dashboard pages.
- Select backend APIs, for example Data Items.
Use the unified API reference when you need:
- Backend business logic and site operations.
- Service plugins for custom integrations.
- Cross-platform functionality that works with both REST and SDK.
