The ArangoDB shell lets you access ArangoDB servers over a network connection using a JavaScript API
The ArangoDB shell (arangosh) is a command-line client tool that can be used for administration of ArangoDB servers.
It offers a V8 JavaScript shell environment, in which you can use JS interfaces
and modules like the db object to
manage collections or run ad-hoc queries for instance, access the
General Graph module or other features.
It can be used as interactive shell (REPL) as well as to execute a JavaScript
string or file. It is not a general command line like PowerShell or Bash however.
Commands like curl or invocations of ArangoDB programs and tools
are not possible inside of this JS shell!
