Package Map

This monorepo contains many crates and packages, but the public documentation is intentionally organized around the packages you can install and use directly.

xbbg

The primary public package. Install it from PyPI for notebooks, research, data pipelines, and Python services.

@xbbg/core

The public Node.js package. It exposes the Rust-backed engine directly in Node.js and is currently marked experimental alpha.

Choose a package

Package	Ecosystem	Install	Status	Use when
xbbg	Python / PyPI	pip install xbbg	Primary public package	You want the main supported API surface, DataFrame backends, notebooks, or Python services
@xbbg/core	Node.js / npm	npm install @xbbg/core	Experimental alpha	You need direct Node.js access to the shared Rust engine and Bloomberg request APIs

Note

Choose xbbg unless you specifically need Node.js. It is the main public package and the center of the documentation set.

Packaging details that matter publicly

• @xbbg/core automatically resolves a supported platform package at install time for its native addon.
• Those platform-specific npm packages are implementation details of @xbbg/core, so they are not documented as separate products.
• Internal Rust crates, bindings, and private packages in the monorepo are intentionally omitted from this public docs tree.

Next steps

• Python docs — the main public documentation surface
• JavaScript docs — public docs for @xbbg/core
• Release notes — track behavior and API changes
