    In order to prevent printing the result of the last evaluated expression,the expression result can be captured in a variable, e.g.

    1.

    There is also the function to explicitly print out values in theArangoDB shell:

    Show execution results

    1. { 
    2.   "a" : "123", 
    3.   "b" : [ 
    4.     1, 
    5.     2, 
    6.     3 
    7.   ], 
    8.   "c" : "test" 
    9. }

    By default, the ArangoDB shell uses a pretty printer when JSON documents areprinted. This ensures documents are printed in a human-readable way:

    Show execution results

    1. [ArangoCollection 36779, "five" (type document, status loaded)]
    2. [ 
    3.   { 
    4.     "_id" : "five/36790", 
    5.     "_rev" : "_ZHpY5sq--_", 
    6.     "value" : 2 
    7.   }, 
    8.   { 
    9.     "_key" : "36787", 
    10.     "_id" : "five/36787", 
    11.     "_rev" : "_ZHpY5sm--B", 
    12.     "value" : 1 
    13.   }, 
    14.   { 
    15.     "_key" : "36796", 
    16.     "_id" : "five/36796", 
    17.     "_rev" : "_ZHpY5sq--D", 
    18.   }, 
    19.   { 
    20.     "_key" : "36783", 
    21.     "_id" : "five/36783", 
    22.     "_rev" : "_ZHpY5sm--_", 
    23.     "value" : 0 
    24.   }, 
    25.   { 
    26.     "_key" : "36793", 
    27.     "_id" : "five/36793", 
    28.     "_rev" : "_ZHpY5sq--B", 
    29.     "value" : 3 
    30.   } 
    31. ]
