Description : a distributed document database system
CouchDb is a distributed document database system with bi-directional
replication. It makes it simple to build collaborative applications that can
be replicated offline by users, with full interactivity (query, add, update,
delete), and later "synced up" with everyone else's changes when back online.
What CouchDB is:
* A document database server, accessible via a RESTful JSON API.
* Ad-hoc and schema-free with a flat address space.
* Distributed, featuring robust, incremental replication with bi-directional
conflict detection and management.
* Query-able and index-able, featuring a table oriented reporting engine
that uses Javascript as a query language.
What CouchDB is not:
* A relational database.
* A replacement for relational databases.
* An object-oriented database. More specifically, CouchDB is not meant to
function as a seamless persistence layer for an OO programming language.
