At a meetup someone suggested we should go to edn [1] . Could be interesting for such purposes. (that and also date formats). Not sure how much we could support both in couchdb but edn parsers starts to appear in a lot of languages around: - py: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/edn_format - js: https://github.com/gnarmis/edn-js - erl: https://github.com/seancribbs/edn-erlang (incomplete) - benoît [1] https://github.com/edn-format/edn
