The NGINX Developer Kit (NDK) module makes it easier for module developers to develop NGINX modules.

The NDK module is also a prerequisite for Encrypted Session, Lua, and Set-Misc modules.

Configuration

After installation you will need to enable and configure the module in NGINX Plus configuration file nginx.conf.
