RethinkDB JavaScript Driver

The RethinkDB JavaScript driver provides programmatic access to RethinkDB, a NoSQL database known for its real-time capabilities via push queries. It is primarily designed for Node.js environments and implements the ReQL query language. The current stable version is 2.4.4. After a period of inactivity from the original creators, the project transitioned to community-driven maintenance under the Linux Foundation, with recent 2.4.x releases (2023-2024) addressing bug fixes and compilation issues. Its key differentiator remains the 'changefeeds' feature, which allows applications to receive real-time updates as data changes. While the official documentation is still available, the release cadence is irregular, reflecting its community-supported status.
