I am considering ArangoDB as the database for a C++ Windows application. My impression is that fuerte is incomplete and not very well documented. Support seems to be lacking. That makes me nervous relying upon a non-official driver to interface my C++ applications with ArangoDB. What options are there for me to consider, since I am totally locked into C++ as the core language for my applications? If indeed fuerte is a risky path at present, what other path can I consider for interfacing C++ programs to ArangoDB? I really like the features ArangoDB offers – but as a C++ developer I feel sort of bewildered.

If possible, please email me and I will send the full post.
Thanks,

My company is evaluating ArangoDB and I’m looking at the fuerte C++ driver.
First, thank you for making this available. Most of our application code is in C, but we hope to integrate with this driver.
I’m doing my fuerte work on ubuntu 18.04, with velocypack, boost 1.71.0 and arangodb 3.6.0-1.
I’ve built and installed the driver and have been able to do some basic CRUD functions, but not all.
I’m not finding much documentation, and the available doc does not always seem to be correct.
I’ve looked thru what I can find, and have looked at the example and test code.
I still cannot find a way to specify a database to use. I’m only able to work with the _system database.
After connecting to arangodb, I can see the existing databases with this code;
auto request = fu::createRequest(fu::RestVerb::Get, “/_api/database”);
auto result = conn->sendRequest(std::move(request));
auto slice = result->slices().front();
std::cout << to_string(slice) <addVPack(builder.slice());
result = conn->sendRequest(std::move(request));
slice = result->slices().front();
std::cout << "code: " << slice.get("code").getInt() <>> an exception is thrown when the line above executes
request = fu::createRequest(fu::RestVerb::Get, “/_api/document/r1test/” + key);
result = conn->sendRequest(std::move(request));
std::cout <slices().front().get(“hello”).copyString();
Any call to get on my result fails to return the value for the given attribute.

Using this;
std::cout << to_string(slice) << std::endl;
I can see that the result has my data, but I have not been able to extract the data with get().

If you can shed any light on these problems, that would be great.
Also – can you give me a sense of the maturity of this driver? Do you know how much it is being used in the linux environment?
Thanks very much,
Paul
