C# Libraries for CouchDB?

Question

I haven't seen the question asked/answered for over a year, and I'm sure there have a been a lot of changes in that time.

If you are using CouchDB in a .Net/C# environment (in production), I'd like to know which library you use, and what your experiences with it have been.

I have found that there are at least four libraries out there: Hammock, Relax, Divan, and SharpCouch. However, I find very little in the way of tutorials, blog posts, testimonials, documentation etc. when I google their names + "CouchDB". It also seems that none of them has a binary release yet (all "pull the source and build").

Are these libraries still pretty new/immature? Are they so simple that there's no real need for documentation? Are so few .Net developers using CouchDB that no one is talking about it in that space?

Thanks for any insight.

All CouchDB functionality is exposed through HTTP API, so all you actually need is a good HTTP library and some error code handling. I guess that's the reason you'll not find many CouchDB libs around: the protocol/API is so easy that you can get started right away.
