What's the difference between the ThingWorx Edge SDK and ThingWorx Extensions SDK (JAVA) ?

Hi, 

 

The latest version of ThingWorx Edge SDK is JAVA-SDK-7-0-0-1485 , size 32 MB.

The latest version of ThingWorx Extension SDK is ThingWorx-Extension-SDK-9-1-0, size 7M.

 

What's the difference between them ?  Can I regard the ThingWorx Extension SDK  as a subset of the ThingWorx Edge SDK ?

ThingWorx Java Edge SDK is basically a bundle of edge API to connect your edge devices to ThingWorx.  ThingWorx extension SDK(Java) is basically a bundle of  API to build Java extension on top of ThingWorx. The Edge SDK is basically for bringing up your remote things in ThingWorx and the extension sdk is to provide you a facility to extend the functionality of ThingWorx. For example, a CSV parser extension is written using extension SDK.
