This is an introduction to ArangoDB's Http interface for indexes in
general. There are special sections for various index types.

The basic operations (create, read, update, delete) for documents are mapped to
the standard HTTP methods (`POST`, `GET`, `PUT`, `DELETE`).

Address of an Index {#HttpIndexResource}
========================================

All indexes in ArangoDB have an unique handle. This index handle identifies an
index and is managed by ArangoDB. All indexes are found under the URI

    http://server:port/_api/index/index-handle

For example: Assume that the index handle is `demo/63563528` then the URL of
that index is:

    http://localhost:8529/_api/index/demo/63563528
