RelaxDB provides a(nother) Ruby interface to CouchDB. It takes its inspiration from ActiveRecord and offers a simple idiom for specifying object relationships. The underlying objects are persisted to CouchDB. Combined with the schema free nature of CouchDB, RelaxDB's current strength lies in quick prototyping of object models.
