+1. I was going to mention this in my previous reply but forgot. httpie is 
custom-made for working with JSON-based REST APIs. Here’s how easy it is to 
create a document:
        $ http PUT :5984/db/doc prop1=value1 prop2=value2
Bang, that’s it. It automatically converts the “name=value” pairs to JSON and 
sets the Content-Type.
It also pretty-prints JSON responses and has a lot of other features that will 
brighten your day.
