When you open a specific ecosystem, you’ll see a search input box and a list of libraries. Click any row to open the library detail page.

The list includes the following columns:

• Name - the full library name, excluding any version identifiers.
  • Python library names are simple strings, such as setuptools or Flask-Admin.
  • Java library names are the concatenation of the Maven coordinate values groupId and artifactId, separated by :. Examples are org.springframework:spring-core or org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-http.
• Latest version - the latest released and available version of the library and the total number of available versions.
• Updated - The most recent date when any version of this library was built and published by Chainguard.

At the bottom of the page, see a total count of available libraries.
