**APIs profiled:** 1

RethinkDB is an open source, distributed document-oriented NoSQL database designed for real-time applications, with push-based change feeds, native JSON storage, and an expressive query language called ReQL. Applications interact with RethinkDB through official client drivers (JavaScript, Python, Java, Ruby) that speak the native JSON driver protocol over TCP, rather than through an HTTP REST API. ReQL also includes an r.http command that lets queries pull data from external HTTP APIs directly.
