This guide provides an overview of the IXO development ecosystem, including available SDKs, APIs, and resources to help you build applications on the Spatial Web Stack.

​
Development Stack

IXO SDKs

Software Development Kits for building Spatial Web applications

API Reference

Comprehensive API documentation

Blockchain

IXO Protocol blockchain for digital twins and impact claims

IXO Matrix

Secure data storage and messaging

​
Core SDKs

If you are using the IXO Spatial Web Multiclient SDK, familiarize yourself with the Signing Client to understand how to sign and broadcast transactions. Familiarize yourself with the IXO Blocksync GraphQL queries for retrieving data from the blockchain.

​
Key Modules

These modules provide specific functionality that can be used independently or in combination to build your application.

Digital Twins

Create and manage digital representations of real-world entities

Claims

Submit and verify impact claims with evidence

Data Rooms

Set up secure data storage with controlled access

Authentication

Implement secure authentication and authorization

​
Getting Started

1

Set Up Development Environment

Install the necessary SDKs for your project:

# Install core SDKs
npm install @ixo/impactxclient-sdk @ixo/matrixclient-sdk
2

Configure Clients

import { createClient } from "@ixo/impactxclient-sdk";
import { createMatrixClient } from "@ixo/matrixclient-sdk";

// Initialize blockchain client
const chain = await createClient({
  rpcEndpoint: "https://rpc.ixo.world",
  chainId: "ixo-5"
});

// Initialize Matrix client
const matrix = await createMatrixClient({
  baseUrl: "https://matrix.ixo.world",
  accessToken: "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
});
3

Implement Core Functionality

Use the SDKs to implement your application’s core features:

// Create a digital twin entity
const entity = await chain.createEntity({
  type: "Asset",
  name: "Solar Panel Array",
  data: {
    capacity: "5kW",
    location: "51.5074,-0.1278"
  }
});

// Create a secure data room
const room = await matrix.createRoom({
  name: "Entity Data Room",
  encryption: true
});

// Store data securely
await matrix.sendEvent(room.roomId, "m.room.message", {
  msgtype: "m.data",
  body: JSON.stringify(sensorData)
});
