If an xml document is imported into a Couchdb database via e4x in the
middle of the forest does anyone hear it scream?
No, but more seriously:
If an xml document is imported into couchdb via built in e4x support in
spidermonkey then
a) is it browsable as a JS document in futon? Else futon shows it as
...??
b) is it queriable in a view over a collection of documents that has
both XML origin docs and json origin docs ?
I guess my overarching question is does the internal representation of a
doc in couch have any memory of the format it came in as? Or is it true
that once the data is in couch - it is indistinguishable as to it's
origin format - and all these data items can be rendered as JSON by
querying over them uniformly, with no regard to origin format.
I suspect the latter but I haven't spent any time (= my ample spare time
is not that ample) looking at the btree code to answer this question
for myself.
Thanks for helping,
Nitin
