Database Management

This is an introduction to ArangoDB's HTTP interface for managing databases.

The HTTP interface for databases provides operations to create and drop individual databases. These are mapped to the standard HTTP methods POST and DELETE. There is also the GET method to retrieve an array of existing databases.

Please note that all database management operations can only be accessed via the default database (_system) and none of the other databases.
