# spaCy Universe
The [spaCy Universe](https://spacy.io/universe) collects the many great
resources developed with or for spaCy. It includes standalone packages, plugins,
extensions, educational materials, operational utilities and bindings for other
languages.
If you have a project that you want the spaCy community to make use of, you can
suggest it by submitting a pull request to this repository. The Universe
database is open-source and collected in a simple JSON file.
Looking for inspiration for your own spaCy plugin or extension? Check out the
[`project ideas`](https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/discussions?discussions_q=category%3A%22New+Features+%26+Project+Ideas%22)
discussion forum.
## Checklist
### Projects
✅ Libraries and packages should be **open-source** (with a user-friendly
license) and at least somewhat **documented** (e.g. a simple `README` with usage
instructions).
✅ We're happy to include work in progress and prereleases, but we'd like to
keep the emphasis on projects that should be useful to the community **right
away**.
✅ Demos and visualizers should be available via a **public URL**.
### Educational Materials
✅ Books should be **available for purchase or download** (not just pre-order).
Ebooks and self-published books are fine, too, if they include enough
substantial content.
✅ The `"url"` of book entries should either point to the publisher's website or
a reseller of your choice (ideally one that ships worldwide or as close as
possible).
✅ If an online course is only available behind a paywall, it should at least
have a **free excerpt** or chapter available, so users know what to expect.
## JSON format
To add a project, fork this repository, edit the
[`universe.json`](meta/universe.json) and add an object of the following format
to the list of `"resources"`. Before you submit your pull request, make sure to
use a linter to verify that your markup is correct.
