SDKs
Box offers a set of SDKs you can use to build your application. The next generation .NET SDK is the newest addition to the set. It is still a beta feature, but you can give them a try to explore all the features they bring along.
Next generation SDKs
The latest generation Box Python SDK, Box TypeScript SDK, .NET SDK, and Swift SDK are designed to elevate the developer experience and streamline your integration with the Box Content Cloud.
Here's what you can expect from the new SDKs:
- Full API Support: New Box SDKs empower developers with complete coverage of the Box API ecosystem. You can access all the latest features and functionalities offered by Box and build feature-rich applications.
- Rapid API Updates: The new auto-generation development approach allows for adding Box APIs to SDKs at a much faster pace (in a matter of days). This means you can leverage the most up-to-date features in your applications without delay.
- Embedded Documentation: All objects and parameters are documented directly in the source code of the SDK so all the necessary information is stored in one place.
- Enhanced Convenience Methods: The newly introduced convenience methods cover various aspects such as authentication, chunk uploads, exponential back-offs, automatic retries, type checkers which help to ensure that you’re using variables correctly, and much more.
