# Introduction

Candy Shop's JavaScript library allows you to create an NFT marketplace on Solana in minutes.

Candy Shop provides an easy to integrate marketplace protocol & toolset with a full suite of data endpoints and command APIs to help users deliver a simplistic, seamless and efficient NFT marketplace experience.
