The Nginx Development Kit (NDK) is an Nginx module providing generic functions, macros, and utilities that other third-party Nginx modules build upon. It adds little user-facing functionality itself; its purpose is to reduce the code Nginx module developers need to write.

Use cases

• build a custom nginx module with shared helper utilities
• satisfy a dependency required by another third-party nginx module
• reuse common macros and conf_set functions across nginx modules
• compile nginx with a dynamic module development kit
• reduce boilerplate when extending nginx core functionality

When to choose

• you are developing an Nginx module and want reusable generic utilities
• another Nginx module you use lists NDK as a required dependency
• you want modular, opt-in compilation of helper code into Nginx

When to avoid

• you are not an Nginx module developer and need end-user features
• you need a standalone web server or application-level functionality
• you want a module with user-visible features rather than a development base
