PUT json data
something is wrong but seems right syntax
myfile.json
[{"name":"johndoe","created":"2012-02-16"},{"name":"marydoe","created":"2012-02-16"}]
curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/mydb/ -d @myfile.json -H
"Content-Type:application/json"
=> not a valid json object

While I think your attitude to all the help you've received on this
thread speaks for itself, I will only say that we welcome
contributions to improve the wiki (write access is, sadly, invite-only
as our wiki is the target of aggressive spamming) and suggestions to
improve the API.
If you do wish to contribute to the documentation, please sign up for
an account on the wiki and start a new thread to user@ asking for
write permission.

he was. just pointing you to the doc so you can have a clear view. What is
stupid here is your reaction.
There is a process described on the wiki to participate to the doc. A jira
is here to open ticket. Other way is to open a thread like you did. what is
not clear is why it's difficult to add a list to a doc property. I suspect
that what you want is bulk doc streaming. Can you describe more what you're
trying to solve?

fine - I can see this is a group of arrogant programmers who don't want
others to contribute to make things better - if you think the couchdb
documentation is good, well, it's those that think they know that
actually don't - but then you probably can't understand that. We won't
waste any more time here.

Re: PUT json data
Posted by Keith Gable <zi...@ignition-project.com>.
The docs are crystal clear to me, and I don't use the bulk docs API. Though
I do admit that the docs do assume you know how to use cURL, and if you
don't, then I can see where they wouldn't be very helpful.
I have noticed that there are a lot of people that attempt to use CouchDB
without a background in REST APIs... that's basically the only type of API
you do as a Rails programmer, which is another reason why the CouchDB API
is easy for me to follow.
CouchDB also requires you to forget about everything you know about
relational databases and SQL. Think more about sorting and labelling sheets
of paper.

yes, I can read. While the docs might be clear to you they are not
clear to myself and others (based on questions I found searching). Are
you refusing contributions for clearer documentation ? That kind of

yes you can ask htere for an access to the doc. For the other thing, why
not openning a ticket for improvement? Also something need to be found to
pass other parameters.

okay, I see that _bulk_docs actually does not keep the extra "docs":[]
layer but loads each record individually.
I do think this should still be changed since if extracting a big json
data set - it is a pain to append the {"docs":
Also the wiki is not that clear - how can I submit a brief description
of this to the wiki page ? any password or process required ?

Re: PUT json data
Posted by Robert Newson <rn...@apache.org>.
an "array of json objects" posted to /dbname is not valid input for
the CouchDB API.
As others have noted, you can POST a single json object to /dbname, or
PUT a single json object to /dbname/docname, or POST multiple
documents to /dbname/_bulk_docs using the {"docs":[]} format.

JSON array might be valid from syntax point, but it is invalid from
point of expected data for /db/_bulk_docs resource.

yes but the _bulk_docs docs say must have {"docs": [.....]} - this
seems wrong - if an array of json objects is correct json syntax, then
couchdb should be able to import it.

I suppose that you'd like to create multiple documents at one. Than
you have to use bulk api:
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_Bulk_Document_API#Modify_Multiple_Documents_With_a_Single_Request
Otherwise you should PUT single object to document resource or use
POST request to let CouchDB setup document id, but in both cases data
source should not be an array of objects. E.g.
$ cat myfile.json
{"name":"johndoe","created":"2012-02-16"}
$ curl -X POST http://localhost:5984/foo/ -d @myfile.json -H
"Content-Type: application/json"
{"ok":true,"id":"c916fb881528a36121d58c14331609ec","rev":"1-e87a6098d0409f77817207224a5508ea"}
OR
$ curl -X PUT http://localhost:5984/foo/bar -d @myfile.json -H
"Content-Type: application/json"
{"ok":true,"id":"bar","rev":"1-e87a6098d0409f77817207224a5508ea"}

http://jsonlint.com/ says it is valid.
