 # CCIP JavaScript SDK
 
-The CCIP JavaScript SDK includes two packages:
-  - [`ccip-js`](/packages/ccip-js/README.md): A TypeScript library that provides a client for managing cross-chain token transfers that use Chainlink's [Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP)](https://docs.chain.link/ccip) routers.
-  - [`ccip-react-components`](/packages/ccip-react-components/README.md): A set of prebuilt ready-to-use UI components built on top of `ccip-js`.
