```Java
ArangoDB arango = new ArangoDB.Builder().build();
ArangoDatabase db = arango.db("myDB");
ArangoView view = db.view("potatoes");
boolean exists = view.exists();
```
## ArangoView.getInfo
`ArangoView.getInfo() : ViewEntity`
Returns information about the view.
**Examples**
```Java
ArangoDB arango = new ArangoDB.Builder().build();
ArangoDatabase db = arango.db("myDB");
ArangoView view = db.view("potatoes");
