Hi everyone,
I have been using CouchDB as the backend for a new API-only server
and Couch is fun!
In keeping with my old API's interface, I would like object
representations to use "id" as their id property rather than Couch's
_id. And the same for revision. I've added a wrapper around Couch to
translate _id and _revision to id and revision and vice versa but it
would be like paradise if this was available as an option.
I understand that older versions of Couch used to use "id" instead
of "_id" and that the "_" was introduced to imply a private
namespace specific to Couch, but in the case of id and revision, I
would suggest that they are also elements of the public namespace
and that "id" and "revision" would do just fine!
CouchDB never used "id" and "rev". It's always been "_id" and "_rev".
I don't know if making the "_" option configurable is a good idea. If
you feel strongly about it, please open a ticket in JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB
Cheers
Jan
