There are probably at leat a million different ways to transform JSON into lists, tables, graphs, etc. I don't think there is really a common approach. You could format documents and views using show and list functions [0], but in the end you'll need to do the coding yourself, at least until the data is in a format that can be fed to some tool or framework. Or render your own CSV, HTML tables, whatever you need. > And out of interested what is the Couchdb app Futon written in? Futon is built using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. You can find the code in the share/www directory in the CouchDB source tree. You might also want to check out the CouchApp programming model and tool [1]. Nils.
