SYNOPSYS

    use Arango::DB;

    my $server = Arango::DB->new( host => '127.0.0.1',
                                  username => 'root',
                                  password => '123123123');

    my $new_database = $server->create_database("mydb");
    my $collection = $server->create_collection("mycollection");
    $collection->create_document( { 'Hello' => 'World'} );

DISCLAIMER

The module is VERY incomplete. It is being written accordingly with my personal needs. While I tried ArangoDB2 it didn't work out of the box as I expected, and decided to write a simple strightforward solution.

Patches and suggestions are VERY welcome.

USAGE

The distribution is divided in different modules, namely:

Arango::DB

This is the main module and hopefully the unique one you need to import in your code. It performs basic operations with the server, and returns objects of different kinds when needed.

Arango::DB::Database

Represents a specific database. A simple object to keep track of the database you are working with, so you do not need to specify it everytime.

Arango::DB::Collection

Represents a collection from a specific database. Again, it just keeps track of the collection name and the database where it resided.
