API

OrientDB supports 3 kinds of drivers:

• Native binary remote, that talks directly against the TCP/IP socket using the binary protocol
• HTTP REST/JSON, that talks directly against the TCP/IP socket using the HTTP protocol
• Java wrapped, as a layer that links in some way the native Java driver. This is pretty easy for languages that run into the JVM like Scala, Groovy and JRuby

This is the list of the known drivers to use OrientDB through different languages:

Language	Name	Type	Description
	Java (native) API	Native	Native implementation.
	JDBC driver	Native	For legacy and reporting/Business Intelligence applications and JCA integration for J2EE containers
	Javascript Driver	HTTP	This driver is the simpler way to use OrientDB from JS
	Javascript Graph Driver	HTTP	This driver mimics the Blueprints interface. Use this driver if you're working against graphs.
	Oriento	Native	Binary protocol, new branch that has been updated with the latest functionality. Tested on 1.7.0. Branched from node-orientdb
	node-orientdb-http	HTTP	RESTful HTTP protocol. Tested on 1.6.1
