Download the project here: CouchDB for Coldfusion on RIAForge
A recent Twitter by Mingo Hagen inspired me to start my first open-source project on RIAForge: CouchDB for Coldfusion. This project is basically a CFC wrapper for CouchDB operations.
CouchDB is a fairly new concept. It is a document-oriented database that uses a RESTful HTTP/JSON API for interactions. You should read more about it yourself, but here are just a few reasons why it is cool:
* Schema-free storage
* Data is stored as JSON
* All document revisions are saved
* You can interact with the DB directly through the browser via the built-in API
* Built-in web-based admin
CouchDB for Coldfusion is still in the early stages, but already I find it is an easy way to interact with CouchDB. I'll be using this project as a way to learn more about CouchDB. If you'd like to contribute please let me know and I'll give you SVN access.
