When I first learn’t about the json format, I thought: “what a great idea!”.

All the great things about it- simplicity, leanness, exactly what xml wasn’t but ought to be.

Soon I reasoned that the json format can be persisted in storage in its own form. One can build a simple, portable database using json records with minimal code.

“Why hasn’t anyone else built it?” I thought.

Well, now we have CouchDB, a document based storage project by apache and Cloudant, for your couchdb cloud needs.
