ArangoDB Java Driver (version 6)

The official ArangoDB Java Driver.

Supported versions

Only the latest version of this driver is maintained to support the most recent ArangoDB server features. It is compatible with all supported stable versions of ArangoDB server, see Product Support End-of-life Announcements.

The minimum required Java version is 1.8+ (since driver version 6.x.x).

Sync and async usage

The driver can be used synchronously as well as asynchronously. The formerly separate async driver with the same API as the synchronous driver, except that it returned a CompletableFuture<T> instead of the result T directly, was merged into this driver in version 6.2.0. See async examples.

Maven

To add the driver to your project with Maven, add the following code to your pom.xml (substitute x.x.x with the latest driver version):

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.arangodb</groupId>
    <artifactId>arangodb-java-driver</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Compile the Java Driver

mvn clean install -DskipTests=true -Dgpg.skip=true -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -B

GraalVM Native Image

The driver supports GraalVM Native Image generation since version 6.6.1. The related configuration can be found here:

Quarkus and Helidon support
