What is NDK?

The Android Native Development Kit (NDK) is a set of tools that allows you to use C and C++ code with Android, and provides access to platform APIs not available in Java and Kotlin. It's commonly used for performance-intensive tasks like game development, signal processing, physics simulations, and when reusing existing C/C++ libraries.
