RethinkDb.Driver is a ReQL driver for RethinkDB. This driver is closely ported from the official Java driver. Architecturally, both the Java driver and C# driver are very similar. This C# driver has some extra language features that add some expressiveness over the Java driver (such as anonymous type optional arguments).

This driver also aims for 100% API compatibility and ReQL completeness with the official drivers. This driver is considered a superset of features of the official Java driver. This driver also passes the same battery of ReQL unit tests as the official RethinkDB drivers.

Getting Started
