ArangoDB is a universal open-source database with flexible data model for documents, graphs, and key-values. Build high performance application using a convenient sql-like query language or JavaScript/Ruby extensions.
|
|
|
|
Key features include:
|
|
|
|
* **Schema-free schemata** let you combine the space efficiency of MySQL with the performance power of NoSQL
|
|
* Use ArangoDB as an **application server** and fuse your application and database together for maximal throughput
|
|
* JavaScript for all: **no language zoo**, you can use one language from your browser to your back-end
|
|
* ArangoDB is **multi-threaded** - exploit the power of all your cores
|
|
* **Flexible data modeling**: model your data as combination of key-value pairs, documents or graphs - perfect for social relations
|
|
* Free **index choice**: use the correct index for your problem, be it a skip list or a n-gram search
|
|
* Configurable **durability**: let the application decide if it needs more durability or more performance
|
|
* No-nonsense storage: ArangoDB uses all of the power of **modern storage hardware**, like SSD and large caches
|
|
* **Powerful query language** (AQL) to retrieve data
|
|
* **Transactions**: run queries on multiple documents or collections with optional transactional consistency and isolation
|
|
* It is **open source** (Apache Licence 2.0)
|

-----------------
|
|
|
|
For Mac OSX execute
|
|
|
|
brew install arangodb
|
|
|
|
For Linux use the distribution dependend package manager, see
|
|
[Installation Manual](http://www.arangodb.org/manuals/current/Installing.html)

|
|
|
For Windows users: We provide an installer script on our
|
|
[download page](http://www.arangodb.org/download).
|
|
|
|
If the package manager has not already started the ArangoDB server, use
|
|
|
|

and select the tab `Shell`. You can now use the Arango shell from within your browser. Alternative, it is available as command-line tool _arangosh_.
|
|
|
|
arangosh> db._create("hallo");
|
|
arangosh> db.hallo.save({ world: "earth" });
|
|
|
