AQL (ArangoDB Query Language) traversal refers to the process of navigating relationships between vertices (documents) in a graph data structure using AQL queries. Traversal allows you to follow edges (relationships) between vertices to discover connected nodes, paths, and patterns within the graph. AQL traversal is a powerful mechanism for querying and analyzing graph data in ArangoDB.

AQL traversal is particularly useful for various graph-related tasks, such as :
* Discovering connected nodes and paths within a graph. * Finding neighbors, friends, or related entities of a given vertex. * Analyzing network structures, dependencies, and patterns. * Performing graph algorithms, such as shortest path, breadth-first search, or depth-first search.
