# ArangoDB JavaScript Driver

The official ArangoDB low-level JavaScript client.

**Note:** if you are looking for the ArangoDB JavaScript API in
[Foxx](https://foxx.arangodb.com){:target="_blank"} (or the `arangosh` interactive shell) please
refer to the documentation about the
[`@arangodb` module](../foxx-reference-modules.html#the-arangodb-module)
instead; specifically the `db` object exported by the `@arangodb` module. The
JavaScript driver is **only** meant to be used when accessing ArangoDB from
**outside** the database.
