The open source discovery of libraries for programmers
Libraries.io indexes data from 2,394,059 projects from 33 package managers. We monitor project releases, analyse each project's code, community, distribution and documentation, and we map the relationships between projects when they're declared as a dependency. The 'dependency tree' that emerges is the core of the services that we provide.
