Maintained: Fully maintained projects are actively developed by Box. They receive the latest security updates and new features. For support with these projects please visit GitHub or our Platform support forum.
API Parity: Projects with full API parity are actively updated with all platform functionality as this becomes available on the Box Platform. Projects with partial API parity lack some functionality while we work on bringing these projects to full parity.
As of September 17, 2025 Box Next Generation SDKs are no longer supported as separate artifacts. Don't worry, your existing code will continue to work without changes. You can still use your applications based on Box Next Generation SDKs with no impact, but you won't receive new features, updates, or bug fixes. We will be still providing patches for security vulnerabilities until version that combines both artifacts is released. In keeping with industry best practices, we are consolidating the Box Next Generation SDKs and Box core SDKs into a single package for each programming language. This makes migration efforts much easier and allows to seamlessly add new capabilities to existing applications still powered by the manually maintained Box core SDKs. Box Next Generation SDKs are available as the latest major version release (v10) of Box core SDKs. Currently, it’s available as a separate branch called sdk-gen.
For more details, see our SDK versioning strategy document.
