API Wrappers & Tools

By "wrapper", we mean a chunk of code (class, dll, etc.) that you will be able to download, drop into your project, and get going very quickly. These will handle the details of the actual network connections, parameters, and interface for you so that you can focus on just using the object(s) we expose to integrate MailChimp into your code.

Important: pay close attention to the version of the API the wrapper you are using supports! You may need to check older documentation or hack/update older libraries for your own needs
