Exporting data for Offline Processing
In this recipe you will learn how to use the export API to extract data and process it with PHP.
First of all we need some data in an ArangoDB collection. For this example we will use a collection named users which we will populate with 100.000 example documents. This way you can get the data into ArangoDB:

# download data file
wget https://jsteemann.github.io/downloads/code/users-100000.json.tar.gz
# uncompress it
tar xvfz users-100000.json.tar.gz
# import into ArangoDB 
arangoimp --file users-100000.json --collection users --create-collection true
