Difference between Firebase Admin SDK and Firebase Admin Web API

Question

I want to take a decision to use Firebase Admin SDK or Firebase Admin REST API.

I need to use it in the communication from Angular/Node.js to Firebase database.

Please let me know if you can share the comparison between this two.

Thanks.

Answer 1

For communicating from an Angular web app with the Firebase Database, use the Firebase Web SDK.

For communicating from a server-side Node.js process with the Firebase Database, use the Firebase Admin SDK.

For communicating with the Firebase Database from a platform for which there is no SDK, use the Firebase REST API.
