Core Extensions

DuckDB's extension mechanism allows for easy extending of DuckDB functionality. Because ducks are not averse to a little dog food once in a while, a significant part of DuckDB's core functionality is provided through this extension mechanism. These extension live in the `core` repository. This repository is the default extension repository meaning that extensions can be loaded either by specifically specifying the `core` repository:

    INSTALL json FROM core;
    LOAD json

or by simply omitting the repository altogether:

    INSTALL json;
    LOAD json

For an extensive list and documentation of all core DuckDB extensions check out the main DuckDB docs.
