Which SDK should I use to connect to Azure IoT?

Question

There are a lot of languages to choose from—does Azure have recommendations or considerations for choosing the right SDK? 

Answer 1

When choosing an SDK, there a few key considerations to make. Let’s walk through them:

• What are the memory and compute constraints of the device? If you have a constrained device, you should be using the C SDK.
• Are you building a device side solution or a service side solution? For device or edge module applications, you can use C, Java, Node, C#, or Python For service side applications, you can use Java, Node, C#, or Python
• What are the capabilities of the device’s operating system? Can the device run an interpreter for scripting languages (Node.js and Python)? Can the device support the Java or C# runtimes?
• What language(s) are you most familiar with? We provide options so that you can stick with what you know best!
