+### Modular inputs examples
+Support for modular inputs is removed from Splunk Enterprise SDK for JavaScript and we recommand to use [Splunk Enterprise SDK for Python](https://github.com/splunk/splunk-sdk-python) for the modular inputs. See the [Python SDK modular inputs example](https://github.com/splunk/splunk-app-examples/tree/master/modularinputs/python) and [PythonSDK modular inputs docs](https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/devtools/python/sdk-python/howtousesplunkpython/howtocreatemodpy) for reference.

 ## SDK examples
 
 The Splunk Enterprise SDK for JavaScript contains several server- and client-based examples, which are located in the [Splunk App Example repo](https://github.com/splunk/splunk-app-examples).
