assuming couchDB is the correct approach for the problem you are trying to
solve...curl and http tools should be all you need. ASIHTTP I believe is
what most ISO devs use for http or flat out curl. I used the couchdb guide
and it was alright but to b honest..couchDB 1.3 has documentation built in
so those docs combined with the wiki..combined with this users group should
have you taken care of.

NOTE: read the WIKI couchDB is not the best solution for every case. and if
you're coming from the Relational Database land it can be very challenging
to shift your mental image of how you should hold your data. CouchDb is
fast enough for alot of scenarios but i believe couchDB's main strength is
the flexibility of use cases it solves...

good luck

ASIHTTP isn't maintained for years, and there is CouchCocoa client already.

We use aside http at work and it works just fine... Also adding wrappers on
top of cocuhdb usually limits the flexibility of the api and end up having
to go behind it in my experience... Never the less I'd try it and see if it
satisfies you... If it does...awesome

What exactly do you want to build?

If you want to make an iOS app that talks to a remote CouchDB server, i.e. accessing only remote data, use the CouchCocoa library (https://github.com/couchbaselabs/CouchCocoa). It’s a fairly lightweight wrapper around the CouchDB REST API.

If you want to put a CouchDB-type database inside your iOS app, and then probably replicate with remote servers, use TouchDB (https://github.com/couchbaselabs/TouchDB) which is a compatible database library built for iOS. Trying to run Apache CouchDB itself on iOS is not the way to go: it’s too hard to build, too big, and doesn’t perform well enough. (I spent six months working on doing exactly that and gave up.)

BTW I am the primary author of those two libraries.

I think Jens Alfke answered this question pretty well and completely. If
there's something else you need to know, you need to be more specific.

[Robert Newson]

Tim, I don't believe Ashraf is subscribed, so he can send questions
but not receive our replies.

The archive is here:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-user/201305.mbox/browser

Everyone, it's great to see quick and useful replies from several
different people, nice work.

Anyone have administrative access to the mailing list so he can be added
manually? ^_^

[Robert Newson]

I've confirmed that outsider emails sit in moderation, they're not delivered.

So Ashraf *is* subscribed but seemingly unable to see the responses
we've been sending?

I moderated the emails in.
