/// @page HttpInterface Lightweight HTTP Interface
///
/// The ArangoDB has a REST interface for accessing the resources. It
/// also provides a lightweight HTTP interface to execute actions. Actions are
/// small JavaScript functions which encapsulate business logic.
///
/// Each resource has an identifier, which allows to access the given resource.
///
/// - collection:
/// A collection can be referenced using the collection identifier or the
/// collection name.
/// - document:
/// A document can be referenced using the collection identifier and the
/// document identifier. Alternativly you can use a document reference which
/// is a string of the form "collection-identifier:document-identifier".
/// - index:
/// An index can be referenced using the index identifier.
/// - revision:
/// Each document has a unique document identifier. However, it is possible
/// to update documents. In this case the document identifier stays the
/// same. Each new revision of such a document gets a new revision number.
/// - etag:
/// A revision of a document has an etag.
///
/// Next steps: learn more about
