Overview

As Sitecore advances its composable and agentic platform vision, the Content SDK is now the official and supported SDK for Sitecore SitecoreAI.

The Content SDK is the new version of the JSS framework designed specifically for SitecoreAI, and as support ends for the supported JSS versions, customers will follow the simple upgrade process to move to the new framework.

This article outlines the lifecycle stages for SDKs used with SitecoreAI, helping developers and customers plan their migration and ensure continued support.
