CouchDB

What is CouchDB?

CouchDB is a document-oriented database that utilizes JSON for data storage and JavaScript for querying and processing. It provides a RESTful HTTP/JSON API, allowing seamless integration with web applications. CouchDB embraces the principles of the web, enabling users to store, access, and manipulate their data through standard web protocols. The database is distributed, fault-tolerant, and schema-free, making it a flexible and reliable choice for a wide range of applications. CouchDB's incremental map/reduce capabilities enable efficient querying and data transformation, while its append-only data store ensures data safety and integrity
