Very elementary question

[Pito Salas <rp...@salas.com>]

I am experimenting with CouchDb, via PeepCode.

I am finding that in the _utils browser interface, the values are
rendered in a way that is different from the PeepCode and before
spending too much time on a bad install I thought I'd ask if anyone
has an explanation, and whether I should just ignore the difference or
there's actually something broken here. Take a look at the screenshots
and you see that:

values like "abc" are not accepted for a field (JSON error)
values like ["abc"] are accepted, but then are spewed back as 0
{"0":"a","1":"b","2":"c","3":"d"}

Comments?

Hi Pito. I've heard your name many times in the past, usually  
mentioned in a positive manner :) I'm not sure we've met, but if so it  
was probably when I was at Iris or Kubi. I've been working on CouchDB  
since early 2005, but I've been in NC that whole time.

Welcome to the CouchDB community!

I think you and I met several years ago at a Starbucks or something,  
didn't we? You were working on CouchDB even then? You used to work at  
Iris? Or am I mixing you up with someone else?

Anyway, pretty cool the traction you've gotten with it. Congratulations!

I don't know about Peepcode, but I'm guessing the library is expecting  
a object, and looks to be iterating over your string somehow thinking  
it's an object with the offsets as keys and the individual characters  
as values..

Try giving it something like {body:"abc"}.
