Using ArangoDB with JavaScript

The multi-model database ArangoDB supports documentsgraphs and key/value pairs. Using the ArangoDB JavaScript driver you can store JSON objects as documents and connect them using vertices as a graph: model your data as you see fit for your application. As a native multi-model database ArangoDB supports document JOINS, graph traversals and optional strong consistency guarantees using transactions – all combined in a single AQL query.
