# Frictionless Libraries

On the lower-level, Frictionless provides libraries for 10 platforms.

# Data Package

Data Package is a simple container format used to describe and package a collection of data. The full specification is available here.

There is a growing set of online and offline software for working with Data Packages. You will find tools for creating, viewing, validating, publishing and managing them.
