<overview>
The LangChain ecosystem is split into focused, independently-versioned packages. Understanding which packages you need — and their version constraints — prevents incompatibilities and keeps upgrades predictable.
**Key principles:**
- **LangChain 1.0 is the current LTS release.** Always start new projects on 1.0+. LangChain 0.3 is legacy maintenance-only — do not use it for new work.
- **langchain-core** is the shared foundation: always install it explicitly alongside any other package.
- **langchain-community** (Python only) does NOT follow semantic versioning; pin it conservatively.
- **LangGraph vs Deep Agents:** choose one orchestration approach based on your use case — they are alternatives, not a required stack (see [Framework Choice](#framework-choice) below).
- Provider integrations (model, vector store, tools) are installed separately so you only pull in what you use.
