CouchDB

CouchDB
  • Document based DB specifically created for the web.
  • It is now an Apache project.
  • Uses a REST API and it returns data as JSON. <--very cool
  • Written originally in C++ but it has moved now to Erlang.
  • Super scalable.
  • from http://couchdb.apache.org/ "CouchDB provides a RESTful JSON API than can be accessed from any environment that allows HTTP requests"
  • Uses JavaScript as a query language
  • The Web based administration console/DB Manager is called 'Futon'.
