CouchDB is a document-oriented database that can be queried and
indexed in a MapReduce fashion using JavaScript. CouchDB also offers
incremental replication with bi-directional conflict detection and
resolution.
CouchDB provides a RESTful JSON API than can be accessed from any
environment that allows HTTP requests. There are myriad third-party
client libraries that make this even easier from your programming
language of choice. CouchDB’s built in Web administration console
speaks directly to the database using HTTP requests issued from your
browser.
CouchDB is written in Erlang, a robust functional programming language
ideal for building concurrent distributed systems. Erlang allows for a
flexible design that is easily scalable and readily extensible.
Relax and prosper,
Noah
