A database that uses JSON for documents, JavaScript for MapReduce queries and regular HTTP for an API

CouchDB is a document database that completely embraces the web. Data is stored as JSON documents. These documents can then be accessed via HTTP, with a web browser. And queries can be done in JavaScript. Because of this, CouchDB works well with modern web applications and mobile apps.

You can distribute data to any number of machines efficiently using CouchDB’s incremental replication. And CouchDB even supports master-master setups with automatic conflict detection.
