# Dependencies
### What are Dependencies?
Dependencies are the components that are required for your application to run.
The dependencies can be open-source, third-party or closed-source(private). Dependencies can be classified as direct and transitive dependencies.
### Understanding Dependencies
* Count of components are displayed towards left, along with the category of the components (open-source, private, third-party, unknown).
* The dependency count is displayed towards the right, giving the number of direct dependencies, number of transitive dependencies, depth of the dependency tree.
* Each tile is clickable which will list down the components applicable to that filter in a table view. The details will list the component name, version, classification and a capsule for dependency counts.
* By clicking the dependency count capsule, next level details are shown as below

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.veedna.com/sbom360/projects/dependencies.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
