Garren Smith commented on COUCHDB-1934:
---------------------------------------
I would like to quickly clarify how Fauxton uses Backbone to interact with
Couchdb. Because Couchdb is just an http api, we use standard backbone, we do
not have a Couchdb api layer on top of Backbone. So we are definitely not
advocating that Backbone replace jquery.couch.
When I said earlier that we should deprecate jquery.couch I didn't realise how
difficult a move this would be as I didn't take into account that people used
it in their own custom couchapps on top of Couchdb. I think if we can find
someone to maintain it then we should leave it in. Its a very simple js
interface into Couchdb and works reasonably well until there is a better
alternative. Fauxton is not that alternative as its a relatively large web
application framework and not a small js lib to interact with Couchdb.

> Key: COUCHDB-1934
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1934
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Question
> Reporter: Alexander Shorin
>
> When [~nslater] had proposed to include [jquery.couch.js
> docs|http://daleharvey.github.io/jquery.couch.js-docs/symbols/] into official
> CouchDB one I recall old good time when we had discussed Futon.Next project.
> Suddenly, it was out of official mailing lists, so no references are
> available, but [~garren], [~dch], [~bigbluehat] and [~ryanramage] were there
> and our discussion was around jquery vs backbone vs pouchdb. Backbone won.
> Nowdays, we have Fauxton which doesn't used jquery.couch and based on
> Backbone. So it seems if we'll replace Futon with him this client library
> would be left orphan.
> So that's the question: what is the status of jquery.couch.js? Is it still
> actual and supported or going to be deprecated?
