# InMemoryDocumentStore
The `InMemoryDocumentStore` is a very simple document store with no extra services or dependencies.
It is great for experimenting with Haystack, however we do not recommend using it for production.
### Initialization
`InMemoryDocumentStore` requires no external setup. Simply use this code:
```python
from haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore
document_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()
```
### Supported Retrievers
[`InMemoryBM25Retriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/inmemorybm25retriever.mdx): A keyword-based Retriever that fetches documents matching a query from a temporary in-memory database.
[`InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever`](../pipeline-components/retrievers/inmemoryembeddingretriever.mdx): Compares the query and document embeddings and fetches the documents most relevant to the query.
