I have just published my fist stab at an Elixir driver for ArangoDB, the document/graphing db (C++, so no Java!).
It is a fairly straightforward wrapper around Arango’s HTTP API, fully tested and around 95% complete. No documentation yet, so usage must be derived from the tests. Also, not a lot of input parsing, so make sure you provide correct inputs.
I hope you will play around with it for a bit and perhaps give some feedback.

I hope I can have some time to play around with it at the end of the week. ArangoDB looks like it could solve my database needs in the long run.

that’s super great!

Haven’t yet played with the lib, but I’ve used ArangoDB for a project at work… if you’re willing to try something new, not afraid of reading documentation and want a kick-ass (multi-paradigm) database, AranagoDB is your thing, baby.
beno
Thanks a lot, having a blast with it so far.

Just published v 0.4.0, now with transaction support!

This is really awsome! I was planning on implementing something like that myself for some time. Seems like this is not necessary anymore!
However, I would be happy to contribute - what are next steps/missing features?
I’m currently working on a VelocyPack parser in Elixir. Based on that we could add support for the new VelocyStream (Arango Contextual Data Platform)
beno
Hi, thanks, glad you like it. I’d say the main missing features are graph related (neighbours and friends) and support for sync/async. And of course any suggestions are welcome.

@beno Michael I am still checking this out. is it possible to use Xarango as a Repo just like Ecto. Is there any work in this regard?
Adding it to supervisor? In my project, I would love to have both Repo & Xarango to manage rdbms and nosql working together esp with arango.
beno
Not sure I know what you mean. Could you provide some pseudo code to illustrate your idea?

Do we have scope for developing an Ecto.Adapter for Xarango ?
such that
Xarango.Repo.insert SomeModel
