Overview
Builder.io is a visual development platform that connects to an existing site or app, so pages can be edited by drag and drop or generated from Figma designs using your own components. Changes are exported as code or published through SDKs. This repository holds the SDKs, usage examples, starter projects and plugins; the editor itself is used through a Builder account.
