# Getting started

JDS is a library designed to be work with [JDA](https://github.com/discord-jda/JDA), hence the similarity in the name. JDS depends on both [JDA](https://github.com/discord-jda/JDA) and [JSky](https://docs.codersky.net/jsky/) to be used, but doesn't shade neither of them, instead, you must select the individual version of each one of them that you want to use, which means that JDS won't need to be updated every time a new JSky or [JDA](https://github.com/discord-jda/JDA) update releases, only if compatability is broken or JDS itself is updated with new features.
