Alexander Shorin commented on COUCHDB-1952:
-------------------------------------------
Both yes. You'll get self explain error response if you try to violate these
rules.
> 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.)
