WuKongIM provides two client SDK families. Choose by how much client-side state the SDK should manage, then open the matching guide.
WuKongIMSDK
Full SDKs for connections, messages, local chats, unread counts, and offline data.
WuKongEasySDK
Lightweight SDKs with fewer APIs for online connections and messaging.
Which one should I use?
| Your requirement | Recommended |
|---|---|
| The SDK should maintain local messages and the chat list | WuKongIMSDK |
| You need unread counts, history, and offline recovery | WuKongIMSDK |
| You only need an online connection plus send and receive | WuKongEasySDK |
| You want the smallest possible integration surface | WuKongEasySDK |
For a complete chat product, start with WuKongIMSDK. To add lightweight realtime communication to an existing product, start with WuKongEasySDK.
