I’ve been watching the CouchDB database project since it has started. It’s the pet project of programmer Damien Katz. I was excited to read an update today announcing that it will be accessible via a RESTful JSON API and the query language for CouchDB will be JavaScript. How cool is that?!
CouchDB is not a relational database but rather a distributed document database. Instead of inserting a row of column values into a table, you save a document, with any number of named fields and values (now represented as JSON objects) into the database where it exists in a kind of addressable pool. Documents can be created, retrieved, updated and deleted without having to worry about schema-design as there is none.
