Transaction HTTP APIs

The HTTP interfaces for transactions support Stream Transactions and JavaScript Transactions

ArangoDB offers HTTP APIs for different types of transactions:

Transactions with separately submitted operations and explicit commit or abort via the Stream Transactions API
Transactions submitted as a single request and leveraging ArangoDB’s JavaScript API via the JavaScript Transaction API.
