# ONNX Runtime C# API
|
|
The ONNX runtime provides a C# .Net binding for running inference on ONNX models in any of the .Net standard platforms. The API is .Net standard 1.1 compliant for maximum portability. This document describes the API.
|
|
|
|
## NuGet Package
|
|
The Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime Nuget package includes the precompiled binaries for ONNX runtime, and includes libraries for Windows 10 platform and X64 CPUs. The APIs conform to .Net Standard 1.1.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
Here is simple tutorial for getting started with running inference on an existing ONNX model for a given input data. The model is typically trained using any of the well-known training frameworks and exported into the ONNX format. To start scoring using the model, open a session using the `InferenceSession` class, passing in the file path to the model as a parameter.
|
|
|
|
var session = new InferenceSession("model.onnx");
|
|
|
|
Once a session is created, you can execute queries using the `Run` method of the `InferenceSession` object. Currently, only `Tensor` type of input and outputs are supported. The results of the `Run` method are represented as a collection of .Net `Tensor` objects (as defined in [System.Numerics.Tensor](https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Numerics.Tensors)).
|
|
|
|
Tensor<float> t1, t2; // let's say data is fed into the Tensor objects
|
|
var inputs = new List<NamedOnnxValue>()
|
|
{
|
|
NamedOnnxValue.CreateFromTensor<float>("name1", t1),
|
|
NamedOnnxValue.CreateFromTensor<float>("name2", t2)
|
|
};
|
|
IReadOnlyCollection<NamedOnnxValue> results = session.Run(inputs);
|
|
|
|
You can load your input data into Tensor<T> objects in several ways. A simple example is to create the Tensor from arrays.
|
|
|
|
float[] sourceData; // assume your data is loaded into a flat float array
|
|
int[] dimensions; // and the dimensions of the input is stored here
|
|
Tensor<float> t1 = new DenseTensor<float>(sourceData, dimensions);
|
|
|
|
Here is a [complete sample code](https://github.com/Microsoft/onnxruntime/tree/master/csharp/sample/Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.InferenceSample) that runs inference on a pretrained model.

## API Reference
|
|
### InferenceSession
|
|
class InferenceSession: IDisposable
|
|
The runtime representation of an ONNX model
|
|
|
|
#### Constructor
|
|
InferenceSession(string modelPath);
|
|
InferenceSession(string modelPath, SesionOptions options);
|
|
|
|
#### Properties
|
|
IReadOnlyDictionary<NodeMetadata> InputMetadata;
|
|
Data types and shapes of the input nodes of the model.
|
|
IReadOnlyDictionary<NodeMetadata> OutputMetadata;
|
|
Data types and shapes of the output nodes of the model.
|
|
|
|
#### Methods
|
|
IReadOnlyCollection<NamedOnnxValue> Run(IReadOnlyCollection<NamedOnnxValue> inputs);
|
|
Runs the model with the given input data to compute all the output nodes and returns the output node values. Both input and output are collection of NamedOnnxValue, which in turn is a name-value pair of string names and Tensor values.
|
|
|
|
IReadOnlyCollection<NamedOnnxValue> Run(IReadOnlyCollection<NamedOnnxValue> inputs, IReadOnlyCollection<string> desiredOutputNodes);
|
|
Runs the model on given inputs for the given output nodes only.
|
|
|
|
### System.Numerics.Tensor
|
|
The primary .Net object that is used for holding input-output of the model inference. Details on this newly introduced data type can be found in its [open-source implementation](https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/tree/master/src/System.Numerics.Tensors). The binaries are available as a [.Net NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Numerics.Tensors).
|
|
|
|
### NamedOnnxValue
|
|
class NamedOnnxValue;
|
|
Represents a name-value pair of string names and any type of value that ONNX runtime supports as input-output data. Currently, only Tensor objects are supported as input-output values.
|
|
|
|
#### Constructor
|
|
No public constructor available.
|
|
|
|
#### Properties
|
|
string Name; // read only
|
|
|
|
#### Methods
|
|
static NamedOnnxValue CreateFromTensor<T>(string name, Tensor<T>);
|
|
Creates a NamedOnnxValue from a name and a Tensor<T> object.
|
|
|
|
Tensor<T> AsTensor<T>();
|
|
Accesses the value as a Tensor<T>. Returns null if the value is not a Tensor<T>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### SessionOptions
|
|
class SessionOptions: IDisposable;
|
|
A collection of properties to be set for configuring the OnnxRuntime session
|
|
|
|
#### Constructor
|
|
SessionOptions();
|
|
Constructs a SessionOptions will all options at default/unset values.
|
|
|
|
#### Properties
|
|
static SessionOptions Default; //read-only
|
|
Accessor to the default static option object
|
|
|
|
#### Methods
|
|
AppendExecutionProvider(ExecutionProvider provider);
|
|
Appends execution provider to the session. For any operator in the graph the first execution provider that implements the operator will be user. ExecutionProvider is defined as the following enum.
|
|
|
|
enum ExecutionProvider
|
|
{
|
|
Cpu,
|
|
MklDnn
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
### NodeMetadata
|
|
Container of metadata for a model graph node, used for communicating the shape and type of the input and output nodes.
|
|
|
|
#### Properties
|
|
int[] Dimensions;
|
|
Read-only shape of the node, when the node is a Tensor. Undefined if the node is not a Tensor.
|
|
|
|
System.Type ElementType;
|
|
Type of the elements of the node, when node is a Tensor. Undefined for non-Tensor nodes.
|
|
|
|
bool IsTensor;
|
|
Whether the node is a Tensor
|
|
|
|
### Exceptions
|
|
class OnnxRuntimeException: Exception;
|
|
|
|
The type of Exception that is thrown in most of the error conditions related to Onnx Runtime.
