Forgive me for throwing out a loose-cannon idea, but would it be
easiest to provide an API where the user sends a Javascript function
to CouchDB via the PATCH method? The function could look something
like:
function(doc) {
doc.my_field = "new value";
doc.existing_array[3] = "another new value";
doc.new_array = ["a", "b", 3];
return doc;
}
I thought that javascript wasn't part of the Couch core? JSON isn't
javascript, and all uses of javascript *could* be replaced with e.g.
Ruby (or my interest, Smalltalk), which is why there is a "language"
attribute on the views.
Your proposal would change that.
