# Introduction

GRID provides libraries that are continually updated with the latest features available in our [REST API](/api-reference/introduction). These libraries provide idiomatic abstractions for using the API endpoints from the language of your choice.

## Why use an SDK?

The GRID SDKs are designed to feel like they were hand-written by an expert in each language, eliminating the need for you to write boilerplate code and ensuring a smooth development experience. The SDKs include:

* **Rich types**: strongly-typed interfaces that provide type safety, enhanced IDE autocomplete, and inline documentation
* **Auto-pagination**: iterate through paginated data without the need to request successive pages manually
* **Auto-retry with backoff**: improve resilience against transient failures
* **Seamless auth**: hassle-free API access
