“Instead of the highly structured data storage of a relational
model, CouchDB stores data in a semi-structured fashion, using a
JavaScript-based view model for generating structured aggregation
and report results from these semi-structured documents. CouchDB
has been developed from the ground up with Web applications as the
primary focus and has its sights on becoming the de-facto database
for Web application development.”
