**dojox.data.CouchDBRestStore** is a subclass of `JsonRestStore <dojo/data/JsonRestStore>`_ for connecting to the open source document-oriented database `Apache CouchDB <http://couchdb.apache.org/>`_.


============
Introduction
============

CouchDBRestStore essentially has the same functionality as JsonRestStore, but has some extra adaptations for automatic creation of stores based on CouchDB's database listing and working properly with CouchDB's idiosyncrasies.


=====
Usage
=====

You can create a set of stores for all available CouchDB tables/databases:

.. code-block :: javascript

 myStores = dojox.data.CouchDBRestStore.getStores("http://192.168.0.68:5984/_utils/");

This will return a object where each property name is the name of the store, and each value is the actual store for interacting with the CouchDB database.
