# C++ SDK Our IDA SDK exposes API in the form of C++ libraries and header files, allowing you you to create custom processor modules and plugins, automate tasks, or integrate new features directly into IDA. Our IDA API is defined and organized by the contents of the header files, that you can browse in our [IDA C++ SDK Reference](https://cpp.docs.hex-rays.com). ## Typical use cases With IDA SDK, you can develop loaders for unsupported binary formats or custom processors modules to disassemble and analyze non-standard files. What's more, you can write plugins to perform complex, automated tasks and more, allowing you to go far beyong the basic IDC scripting. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
