Subject: Weekly Links, Choose CouchDB or Trellis

The weekly roundup of links has only come up
with two winners: CouchDB and Trellis.
–CouchDB–
Just two weeks ago I was saying:
”
In conclusion: a future web framework would have to
have a single storage system for all its components. This
could either be a filesystem based system providing an
interface acceptable to the code level (SQL? XML?)
or an OO database with storage viewable as filesystem
objects. An important thing: the interface provided to
the code level could have SQL, SPARQL, XPath, whatever,
as options; but as time goes by its becoming clearer that
a REST interface is obligatory.
”
And two weeks later a major component for the future
web framework comes up in the form of CouchDB:
“””
A flat document storage engine calling itself a database.
…the future of database without the weight that is SQL.
There are no schemas. But you do store (and retrieve) JSON objects.
And all this happens using Real REST
“””

Whether to read the book:
