Source code for langchain_core.retrievers

"""**Retriever** class returns Documents given a text **query**.

It is more general than a vector store. A retriever does not need to be able to
store documents, only to return (or retrieve) it. Vector stores can be used as
the backbone of a retriever, but there are other types of retrievers as well.

**Class hierarchy:**

.. code-block::

    BaseRetriever --> <name>Retriever  # Examples: ArxivRetriever, MergerRetriever

**Main helpers:**

.. code-block::

    RetrieverInput, RetrieverOutput, RetrieverLike, RetrieverOutputLike,
    Document, Serializable, Callbacks,
    CallbackManagerForRetrieverRun, AsyncCallbackManagerForRetrieverRun
