ArangoDB's API is HTTP-based. For that, arangod (the server binary) needs to be running, which hosts a web server that serves requests to the RESTful API. There are drivers for various languages which make it easier to interact with the server. There is also a binary transport protocol called VelocyStream, which is supported by the official Java driver. It is still a server-client model however.

ArangoDB is currently not designed to be embedded. It's not impossible to do, but you would have to do quite some coding work.
