Open forestdb database file

[Rustam Yuzmukhametov]

Hi, 

When I used sqlite data storage I opened cblite database file using any sqlite database navigator.

Is it possible to open forestdb database file?

Thank you!

Yes — fopen( ) ;-)

It’s a very new file format so there aren’t any friendly tools yet. There’s a very simple database dump tool in the forestdb repo that you can build, but it pretty much just dumps out keys and binary data. The actual values stored in a Couchbase Lite database are in a binary format that’s not going to be easy to decipher.

There is a Couchbase Lite Viewer app for Mac OS that might be more like what you’re looking for. If you build it yourself, linking against CBL 1.1, it’ll be able to open ForestDB-based databases.
