Microsoft.Extensions.VectorData.Abstractions

This package contains abstract classes and utilities for accessing vector databases. Actual implementations are provided separately in other packages; see https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/ai/vector-stores/overview for more information.

The abstractions in this package expose functionality for:

  • Mapping .NET types to a collection (e.g. table) in a vector database, with arbitrary schema support.
  • Creating, listing and deleting collections in the database.
  • Creating, retrieving, updating and deleting records.
  • Similarity search using vector embeddings.
  • Filtering records using LINQ filters.
  • Hybrid search combining vector similarity and keyword search.
  • Built-in embedding generation using Microsoft.Extensions.AI.

How to Use

This package typically isn't referenced directly by application; it's usually a transitive dependency of a provider.
