# Foxglove SDK

The Foxglove SDK allows you to log and visualize multimodal data with [Foxglove](https://foxglove.dev).

The core SDK is written in Rust, with bindings for Python, and C++. We publish prebuilt libraries and Python wheels, so you don’t need a Rust development environment.

- Stream live data to Foxglove over a local WebSocket

- Log data to [MCAP](https://mcap.dev/) files for visualization or analysis

- Leverage built-in [Foxglove schemas](https://docs.foxglove.dev/docs/sdk/schemas) for common visualizations, or your own custom messages using a supported serialization format

- ROS packages are available for all supported distributions (see our [ROS 2 tutorial](https://docs.foxglove.dev/docs/getting-started/frameworks/ros2))

Visit [Foxglove SDK Docs](https://docs.foxglove.dev/sdk) to get started.
