Introducing the ServiceNow SDK

The ServiceNow SDK is a command-line utility that allows developers to add JavaScript modules and third-party libraries from NPM to their ServiceNow scoped applications. It supports the use of Visual Studio Code for development and provides a workflow for creating, modifying, and deploying applications to a ServiceNow instance. The SDK simplifies the development process by treating XML-based app artifacts as a build artifact, allowing developers to focus on writing plain JavaScript files and leveraging the extensive ecosystem of NPM packages. Future developments include a focus on modern development experiences, such as modeling metadata as source code, enabling local development, and distributed version control using Git.
