CouchDB 2.0 Reference Manual (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789888381654)

CouchDB is an open source database that focuses on ease of use and on being "a database that completely embraces the web". It is a document-oriented NoSQL database that uses JSON to store data, JavaScript as its query language using MapReduce, and HTTP for an API. CouchDB was first released in 2005 and later became an Apache project in 2008.

Unlike a relational database, CouchDB does not store data and relationships in tables. Instead, each database is a collection of independent documents. Each document maintains its own data and self-contained schema. An application may access multiple databases, such as one stored on a user's mobile phone and another on a server. Document metadata contains revision information, making it possible to merge any differences that may have occurred while the databases were disconnected.
