Extensions are stored in prefix_extensions table in database. You can get extension data using jFactory::getDBO();

See this code.

$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$com_articles = $db->setQuery("SELECT * FROM #__extensions WHERE name = 'com_directory'");
$com_articles = $com_articles->loadObject();
print_r($com_articles);
