What is the difference between lxd and lxc?

I want to work with lxc containers.

I have installed the ubuntu lxd package, but I work with lxc command. So I do not understand what are the differences between lxc and lxd containers.

Are these the same thing?

Note that the name of the project is lxc, alias Linux Containers. Lxd is the server process with what you are interacting, like dockerd in the docker world.

lxc is also the command line client tool of the lxd. Thus, we have here a little confusion, because lxc means both the software name and the command line client tool.

LXD is a daemon service that exposes REST API and manages the containers via liblxc.

LXC is a command line tool that calls REST API locally or remotely.
