Can a JSON data structure be directly saved as a CouchDB document?

Question

I'm a Python programmer with experience using the json module. I've just meet CouchDB and seems very interesting.

I wonder know if JSON data structures can be directly saved as a CouchDB document.

Thanks,

Answer 1

couchDB is inteded to work with JSON. have a look here: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_Document_API#POST you just POST a json document for storage.

Answer 2

CouchDB will accept any valid JSON Object as a document.

Answer 3

You only need to provide an unique ID that will be used as part of the resource name (URI) when PUTting it or you use POST and take an auto-generated ID. You can use any JSON, that does not contain _id and _rev, because these fields are reserved for CouchDB itself.
