# Description Add `README.md` files to each crate in our workspace (-plugins) and also include it in the `lib.rs` documentation for <docs.rs> (if there is no existing `lib.rs` crate documentation) In all new README I added the defensive comment that the crates are not considered stable for public consumption. If necessary we can adjust this if we deem a crate useful for plugin authors.
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.
