-### [The Standard Library](@id man-stdlib)
-
-The Julia standard library contains additional, commonly used packages that are installed alongside the Julia runtime by default.
-To use a standard library package, it is first necessary to load the package with a [`using`](@ref) or [`import`](@ref) statement.
-Links to available standard library packages are provided below,
-and may also be found in the website sidebar.
-Their source code is available in the `Sys.STDLIB` directory of a Julia installation.

-Julia also provides various standard, pre-built binary libraries
-of established software that is written in other languages.
-By convention, these packages have names that end with `_jll`.
-The [`using`](@ref) statement can load symbol names from these binary libraries:
