I didn't know about LightCouch and I've never used it, but I'd just look at
their documentation. http://www.lightcouch.org/lightcouch-guide.html#docs-api
seems to have some examples for the find method which returns JsonObject
instances. I think you should be able to work from there.
I don't know if LightCouch is still being developed, but another Java API to
look at is Ektorp: http://www.ektorp.org
I've also used jcouchdb in the past, although I don't know if that project is
still actively being developed: http://code.google.com/p/jcouchdb/
You could also just skip the CouchDB-specific libraries and take your favorite
HTTP client and JSON library and build on that. Most CouchDB libraries aren't
much more than that anyway.
