Harness the Power of Custom Visitors for AQL Graph Traversals

Visitors by jan

Jan blogged about some recent extensions for the AQL graph traversal functionality in ArangoDB. These extensions allow invoking user-defined JavaScript code for filtering and results generation in AQL queries that contain traversals.
