8# Strudel Packages
9
10The [strudel repo](https://codeberg.org/uzu/strudel) is organized as a monorepo, containing multiple npm packages.
11The purpose of the multiple packages is to
12
13- organize the codebase into more modular, encapsulated pieces
14- be able to opt out of certain functionalities
15- keep the dependencies of the core packages small
16
