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
	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
	Gremlin-Node		To execute Gremlin queries against a remote OrientDB server
	PhpOrient	Binary	Official Driver
	OrientDB-PHP	Binary	This was the first PHP driver for OrientDB, but doesn't support all OrientDB features and it's slow to support new versions of driver protocol.
