# nn_archive

Python API: `luxonis_ml.nn_archive`

Public entry point for Luxonis NN Archive creation and inspection.

The luxonis_ml.nn_archive package collects the schema models and helper functions used to create NN Archive tar files. An archive
stores `config.json` alongside compiled model executables so model metadata, input/output definitions, tensor layouts, and
parser-head configuration can travel with the executable artifact.

> **Example**
> Build a validated archive with the package-level imports.

```python
from luxonis_ml.nn_archive import ArchiveGenerator

generator = ArchiveGenerator(
    archive_name="model",
    save_path="artifacts",
    cfg_dict=config,
    executables_paths=["model.blob"],
)
archive_path = generator.make_archive()
```
