The Ruby Standard Library is a large collection of classes and modules you can require in your code to gain additional features.
Below is an overview of the libraries and extensions, followed by a brief description of each.
Libraries¶ ↑MakeMakefile
: A module used to generate a Makefile for C extensions
RbConfig
: Information about your Ruby configuration and build
Gem
: A package management framework for Ruby
Coverage
: Provides coverage measurement for Ruby
Monitor
: Provides a reentrant mutex
objspace
: Extends the ObjectSpace
module to add methods for internal statistics
PTY
: Creates and manages pseudo-terminals
Ripper

Default gems are shipped with Ruby releases and also available as rubygems.
Default gems are not uninstallable from the Ruby installation.
Default gems can be updated using rubygems.
e.g. gem update json
Default gems can be used with bundler environments like unbundled_env
.
Default gems can be used at any version in a Gemfile.
e.g. gem "json", ">= 2.6"
