Apache CouchDB
Apache CouchDB is a document-oriented NoSQL database that stores data as JSON documents. It features a unique replication protocol that enables seamless data synchronization between server clusters, mobile devices, and web browsers, making it ideal for offline-first applications. CouchDB uses an append-only storage engine for high reliability and provides a RESTful HTTP API for data access. It supports both single-node deployments and horizontally scalable clusters.
