Anand Chitipothu commented on COUCHDB-523:
------------------------------------------


How about considering a dict instead of a list for queries? Keeping track of 
dictionary keys is much easier than keeping track of array indicies.

{
    "queries": {
        "foo": {"key":"foo"}, 
        "bar": {"startkey":"bar", "endkey":"baz", "limit":10}, 
        ...
    }
} 

And the response will be dictionary with same keys. 

{
    "results": {
        "foo": {"total_rows":100, "offset":34, "rows":[...]}, 
        "bar": {"total_rows":100, "offset":20, "rows":[...]} 
    }
}

I'm not very sure if introducing  another nested level "results" is required, 
but it looks symmetrical to the request.

> It would be useful if I could do a single POST to a view to retrieve multiple 
> ranges specified by startkey, endkey.
> The format could be as follows:
> { "ranges": [ { "startkey": "a", "endkey": "c" }, { "startkey":"g", 
> "endkey":"z" } ] }
