# Firebase client library usage

Firebase provides SDKs for both client-side application development and
server-side administrative tasks.

For a full list of Firebase client libraries and links to their documentation
and GitHub repositories, see https://firebase.google.com/docs/libraries

## Mobile and web client-side SDKs

The Firebase client-side SDKs allow direct interaction with Firebase services
from a mobile or web app. These SDKs are available for iOS (Swift and
Objective-C), Android (Kotlin and Java), Web (JavaScript), Flutter (Dart),
Unity, and C++.

-   For **web apps**, Agent Skills for Firebase provide guides to get started
    with the JavaScript client SDK. Install these skills by running:

    ```bash
    npx -y skills add firebase/agent-skills -y
    ```

-   For **native iOS or Android mobile apps**, see the documentation to get
    started:

    -   **iOS**: https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup.md.txt
    -   **Android**: https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup.md.txt

-   For **Flutter apps**, see the documentation to get started:

    -   **Flutter**: https://firebase.google.com/docs/flutter/setup.md.txt

-   For **Unity and C++ mobile apps**, see the documentation to get started:

    -   **Unity**: https://firebase.google.com/docs/unity/setup.md.txt
    -   **C++**: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cpp/setup.md.txt

## Server-side Admin SDKs

The Firebase Admin SDKs provide privileged access to Firebase services from a
server environment. These SDKs are available for Node.js, Java, Python, and Go.
