Erlang API status?

[Gilbert B Garza <gi...@gmail.com>]

Hello, I'm wondering where on the road map lies a native Erlang API for
couchdb. We're about to start writing production software in Erlang, and I'm
wondering whether we should start coding with couchdb in mind, or use
another database instead.

Thanks,
Gilbert

have a look at my slides from the erlounge wellington[0]. there is a sample
in the slides on how to use couchdb from erlang (i use code based on that in
production context). the source is on github[1]

cheers

Thanks for the responses. I'm hoping to skip the HTTP interface altogether,
so I suppose I'll be diving into the couch_httpd_ modules.

Thanks,
Gilbert

Glibert,

There are a couple Erlang clients that use the HTTP interface. You can
find the libraries listed on the wiki:

Currently if you want to interface with Couch in Erlang, the best
thing to do is see what's going in on the various couch_httpd_*
modules.

The internal Erlang API isn't supported or documented, but has been
mostly stable for a while. I'm using it on a benchmarking project
currently and its a pretty easy API to hook into if you already
understand Couch's HTTP API.
