  Kentico ships client-side component libraries in two distinct families, and
  they serve different audiences. The ADMIN family is a published React
  component library on npm that developers use to build custom administration
  UI. The BUILDER family is the in-product widget/section/form component model
  that marketers assemble visually. Both are first-party and distinct from the
  server-side SDKs catalogued in packages/.
