# Description Remove a couple of legacy fields (`input_type`, `output_type`), and `var_id` which is optional and not required for deserialization. I think until I document this in the plugin protocol ref, most people will probably be using this example to get started, so it should be as correct as possible # After Submitting - [ ] TODO: document `Signature` in plugin protocol reference
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
