Interface Definition Language—a JSON specification that describes a program's instructions, accounts, types, and error codes. Anchor auto-generates the IDL from the program source code. Client libraries (TypeScript, Python) use the IDL to serialize/deserialize instruction data and accounts, enabling type-safe interaction without manual encoding.
The most popular framework for building Solana programs in Rust. Anchor provides macros (#[program], #[account], #[derive(Accounts)]) that auto-generate boilerplate for account validation, serialization, discriminators, and error handling. It includes a CLI (anchor init/build/test/deploy), IDL generation, and TypeScript client generation. Reduces program code by ~80% compared to native development.
A code generation toolchain that takes a Solana program's IDL and generates fully-typed client SDKs in multiple languages. Codama processes IDLs produced by Shank or Anchor and emits TypeScript clients. It is the successor of the Kinobi project and is commonly used in the Pinocchio + Shank + Codama workflow for native Solana program development.
A Rust macro-based tool for generating IDL files from native Solana programs that do not use Anchor. Shank provides attribute macros like #[derive(ShankAccount)] and #[derive(ShankInstruction)] that annotate program code to produce IDL output compatible with Codama/Kinobi for client generation. A key component of the Pinocchio + Shank + Codama workflow.

The most popular framework for building Solana programs in Rust.

It includes a CLI (anchor init/build/test/deploy), IDL generation, and TypeScript client generation. Reduces program code by ~80% compared to native development.
The Anchor macro applied to structs to define on-chain account data layouts. `#[account]` auto-derives Borsh serialization, adds an 8-byte discriminator prefix (SHA-256 of 'account:<Name>'), and implements space calculation. Optional attributes: `#[account(zero_copy)]` for zero-copy deserialization of large accounts.
The Anchor macro that defines the accounts struct for an instruction. Each field specifies an account with validation constraints. Account types include: `Account<'info, T>` (deserialized), `Signer<'info>` (must sign), `Program<'info, T>` (program reference), `SystemAccount<'info>`, and `UncheckedAccount<'info>` (no validation, use carefully).
Declarative validation rules on Anchor account fields. Key constraints: `#[account(mut)]` (writable), `#[account(init, payer=x, space=n)]` (create), `#[account(seeds=[...], bump)]` (PDA validation), `#[account(has_one=field)]` (field equality), `#[account(constraint = expr)]` (custom boolean), `#[account(close=target)]` (close and reclaim rent).
