What does Ruby SDK mean?

A Ruby SDK is a set of libraries, tools and ready-made functions for developing applications in the Ruby programming language. SDK stands for Software Development Kit. It makes it easier for developers to work with a specific service, platform or API by offering ready-made methods for common tasks, such as authentication, sending requests, loading and modifying data or handling errors. It also usually includes documentation and usage examples. In e-commerce, a Ruby SDK can be used to connect an e-shop to payment gateways, carriers, external databases, analytics tools or other services. Using it can speed up development and simplify integration.
