Installing RethinkDB client drivers

Official drivers

• JavaScript

• Ruby

• Python

• Java

Current community-supported drivers

These drivers have been updated to use the JSON driver protocol and at least RethinkDB 2.0 ReQL.

• C# bchavez

• C# mfenniak

• C++

• Clojure

• Common Lisp

• Dart

• Delphi

• Elixir

• Erlang

• Go

• Haskell

• JS neumino

• Lua

• Nim

• Perl

• PHP

• R

• Rust

• Swift

Drivers with limited features

These drivers may not support all of RethinkDB 2.0's ReQL. However, if you wish to work with one of these languages, they may provide a good starting point.

• Objective-C

• Scala

Note that both the official JavaScript driver and neumino’s “rethinkdbdash” driver are designed to work with Node.js.
