Nathan Vander Wilt created COUCHDB-1952:
-------------------------------------------
Summary: How exactly are underscore-prefixed fields reserved?
Key: COUCHDB-1952
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1952
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Reporter: Nathan Vander Wilt
The wiki stated "Note that any top-level fields within a JSON document
containing a name that starts with a _ prefix are reserved for use by CouchDB
itself." http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_Document_API#Special_Fields
In the new documentation the closest equivalent I can find is the hand-wavy "As
a general rule, URL components and JSON fields starting with the _ (underscore)
character represent a special component or entity within the server or returned
object." http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/api/index.html?highlight=underscore
I'd like to see the official documentation clarified:
- are underscore fields still reserved? (I'm assuming so.)
- are they reserved only at the top level? (I'm hoping so.)
