Store database records as JSON >>>>>documents. Access documents and query indexes via HTTP. Index, combine, >>>>>and transform JSON documents with JavaScript. Distribute data efficiently >>>>>using CouchDB’s incremental replication and synchronization technology. >>>>>CouchDB supports master-master setups (a.k.a. “masterless replica >>>>>architectures”) with automatic conflict detection. CouchDB works well with >>>>>modern Web and mobile applications. It is not a relational database.
