### 🧠 Best choice based on your needs

* **You want maximum control with no dependencies? Or you are developing smart contracts** → Use **Direct Contract Queries**
* **Already using ENS tooling and library and want quick adapter support?** → **NNS Adapters** will let you reuse existing code with minimal changes
* **You're building a high‑performance frontend dApp with JS frameworks?** → **NNS SDKs** strike a solid balance between control, speed, and ease-of-use.
* **Working server-side or need simple HTTP integration? Or you just simply want to display .nad names** → **REST APIs** offer minimal setup and broad compatibility.
