Johnny Weng Luu commented on COUCHDB-1222:
------------------------------------------
So I thought no problemo, CouchDB's _update function can fix this. But it
doesn't return _rev.
So there is just no way making it simple for other frameworks to be compatible
CouchDB.
You are basically saying: "We won't format the response so that you can work
with CouchDB. You have to write a specific CouchDB adapter".
If I use 2-3 different frameworks the chance is next to 0% that they all will
work with CouchDB. It's much better if CouchDB is flexible in the response data
so that it can adapt to their whatever model system.
Three solutions I mentioned could solve this:
1. Make _rev/_id being used all time.
2. Let the user choose to return the whole document on creation.
3. Return _rev also in _update function.
Isn't it worth to make CouchDB more compatible with other frameworks to gain
more popularity?

> I'm using a MVC framework to communicate with CouchDB.
> Sometimes CouchDB returns _id/_rev and other times id/rev.
> Could either one of them be used instead, cause the model layer usually have
> pre set fields that can't be changed.
> And this would also not confuse developers when they are parsing the result.
