# Description this PR - moves the documentation from `lib.rs` to `README.md` while still including it in the lib file, so that both the [crates.io page](https://crates.io/crates/nuon) and the [documentation](https://docs.rs/nuon/latest/nuon/) show the top-level doc - mention that comments are allowed in NUON - add a JSON-NUON example - put back the formatting of NOTE blocks in the doc # User-Facing Changes # Tests + Formatting # After Submitting
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.
