Package Philosophy

Kexra packages are self-contained, folder-based modules that promote simplicity and local development.

Why this exists​

Packages enable code reuse and organization without complex tooling or registries.

How it works​

Each package is a directory with code and metadata. Packages can depend on others, forming a local dependency graph.

Examples​

my-app/
  kexra.json
  src/
    main.kx
  packages/
    utils/
      kexra.json
      src/
        helpers.kx

Common mistakes​

  • Treating packages like monolithic libraries
  • Not understanding local-first approach
