Does ORE ‘compete’ with QuantLib?

Not at all! ORE builds on the work of QuantLib. And we grateful for the enormous community effort and experience that went into QuantLib which has enabled ORE.

Is it necessary to have deep QuantLib knowledge to extend the ORE, e.g. adding a different model for calculating exposure or pricing?

ORE is based on QuantLib and uses QuantLib style especially in its “QuantExt” library. Adding different simulation models starts there so that familiarity with QuantLib is an advantage. Further amendments
