# Docs: compound ecosystem and integrations **Problem statement:** We have a big overlap between the References/Integrations and Ecosystem/LongChain Ecosystem pages. It confuses users. It creates a situation when new integration is added only on one of these pages, which creates even more confusion. - removed References/Integrations page (but move all its information into the individual integration pages - in the next PR). - renamed Ecosystem/LongChain Ecosystem into Integrations/Integrations. I like the Ecosystem term. It is more generic and semantically richer than the Integration term. But it mentally overloads users. The `integration` term is more concrete. UPDATE: after discussion, the Ecosystem is the term. Ecosystem/Integrations is the page (in place of Ecosystem/LongChain Ecosystem). As a result, a user gets a single place to start with the individual integration.

Weaviate
This page covers how to use the Weaviate ecosystem within LangChain.
What is Weaviate?
Weaviate in a nutshell:
- Weaviate is an open-source database of the type vector search engine.
- Weaviate allows you to store JSON documents in a class property-like fashion while attaching machine learning vectors to these documents to represent them in vector space.
- Weaviate can be used stand-alone (aka bring your vectors) or with a variety of modules that can do the vectorization for you and extend the core capabilities.
- Weaviate has a GraphQL-API to access your data easily.
- We aim to bring your vector search set up to production to query in mere milliseconds (check our open source benchmarks to see if Weaviate fits your use case).
- Get to know Weaviate in the basics getting started guide in under five minutes.
Weaviate in detail:
Weaviate is a low-latency vector search engine with out-of-the-box support for different media types (text, images, etc.). It offers Semantic Search, Question-Answer Extraction, Classification, Customizable Models (PyTorch/TensorFlow/Keras), etc. Built from scratch in Go, Weaviate stores both objects and vectors, allowing for combining vector search with structured filtering and the fault tolerance of a cloud-native database. It is all accessible through GraphQL, REST, and various client-side programming languages.
Installation and Setup
- Install the Python SDK with
pip install weaviate-client
Wrappers
VectorStore
There exists a wrapper around Weaviate indexes, allowing you to use it as a vectorstore, whether for semantic search or example selection.
To import this vectorstore:
from langchain.vectorstores import Weaviate
For a more detailed walkthrough of the Weaviate wrapper, see this notebook
