Which Java library to choose?
Hello,
I came across many Java libraries for accessing CouchDB from a java
application. But I am confused which one to choose. Is there any
community recommend one?
I want to use a library which has the following:
* Actively developed
* Stable
* Easy to use
* Allows most of the functionality supported by CouchDB
Any suggestions/pointers is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have never used a dedicated Java library to access CouchDB since it's all simply REST, but there's two that I know of: couch4j [0] and jcouchdb [1]. Neither look like they've been updated for CouchDB 0.11 yet.
I actually wrote some code today to access CouchDB from a Java CMS backend, parse the JSON result into a Map using Jackson's simple data binding [2] and provide that structure to a template for rendering. That's sounds like a lot of work in Java, but it was actually pretty easy and I didn't feel I needed a full on CouchDB library. The gist of it was:
----
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
URL url = new URL("http://couchdb.example.com:5984/db/doc");
Map<String, Object> doc = mapper.readValue(url.openStream(), Map.class);
----
But yeah, sure, I understand if you need some more abstraction (although Jackson's full data binding might also help here). There's tons of JSON libraries for Java (json-lib, Jettison, Svenson, Jackson, Gson, etc.) and I officially like Jackson best since today. For a little higher level abstraction I'd try something like Spring's RestTemplate or other REST-oriented tools. Or yeah, try a dedicated CouchDB library.
Happy hacking!
Nils Breunese.

I have found jcouchdb to most complete and the easiest to extend
