# Build on Xaman

**Welcome to the Xaman Developer Docs!**\
\
**Xaman is a powerful platform designed to make your interaction with the XRP Ledger (XRPL) seamless. Whether you are an experienced developer or just getting started, Xaman offers a range of features, including xApps, payloads, transaction signing, and much more.**\
\
**This documentation will guide you through the essentials to get you up and running in no time.**

While app users can simply use the Xaman app to manage their XRP ledger accounts, balances and transactions, the true power of Xaman can be experienced through the Xaman SDK, using our platform made available for developers.

## Ways to interact

The Xaman SDK can be used to interact with Xaman users. An example can be a "sign request", where the user is asked to sign a transaction, identification (sign in) or a user interface presented in Xaman (xApp).

## Packages

The Xaman SDK offers a ready to use Javascript & Typescript SDK for all frontend and backend projects. With only minor differences depending on the environment you are using the SDK in, the SDK is the most convenient way to interact with Xaman users & the Xaman ecosystem.

If you are not working in a [Javascript/Typescript](https://www.npmjs.com/package/xumm) environment and prefer to build your own backend implementation, you can use our [API (endpoint) documentation](https://xumm.readme.io/reference/about) or use one of our SDKs for [Python (PyPI)](https://pypi.org/project/xumm-sdk-py/), [PHP (Packagist)](https://packagist.org/packages/xrpl/xumm-sdk-php) or [C# (NuGet)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/XUMM.NET.SDK)
