## What it is
A design guide for developing JavaScript SDKs, extracted from work and personal experience. It covers topics like design philosophy, versioning, storage mechanisms, events, requests, and debugging for browser-based SDKs.

## Use cases
- design a javascript sdk
- learn best practices for building browser sdks
- understand sdk versioning and changelog conventions
- choose a storage mechanism for a browser sdk
- learn how to make http requests from an sdk
- debug a javascript sdk across domains

## When to choose
- you are building a browser-based JavaScript SDK and want design guidance
- you need a reference for SDK patterns like async loading, storage, and beacon requests
- you want a curated checklist of browser SDK concerns

## When to avoid
- you are building an SDK for Node.js, embedded, or hardware environments
- you need runnable code or a library rather than documentation
- you need framework-specific SDK guidance

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: sdk, documentation, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, documentation, tutorials
- platform: browser
- tags: design-guide, sdk-development, best-practices, browser-javascript, guide, javascript, web
