Three of CouchDB’s creators show you how to use this document-oriented database as a standalone application framework or with high-volume, distributed applications. With its simple model for storing, processing, and accessing data, CouchDB is ideal for web applications that handle huge amounts of loosely structured data. That alone would stretch the limits of a relational database, yet CouchDB offers an open source solution that’s reliable, scales easily, and responds quickly.

Often in the development of a site I come across the need to display the size of a document next to the link targeting it. I also like to display the type of file the link targets, for example, when linking to pdfs, mp3s or Word documents. These indications distinguish the 'attachment' link from a normal web link, whilst also giving the user some inkling of the time they will need to wait to view the resulting content. So I was pretty excited when Simon bounded in from work and enthusiastically demonstrated json-head , a Google App Engine application he built on the train home.

JSONLint - The JSON Validator.
Essentially, I'm just riding on JSLint's coattails. The name 'lint' was originally used to find problems in C source files. It's not really valid here because JSON is just a protocol. Shameless? You bet!

JSON CSS is a proof of concept meant to demonstrate what could be accomplished with a more powerful syntax within CSS. Specifically, this implementation is a jQuery plugin using JSON. The featureset is what really matters though - the implementation is just a means to an end.Small —2.4KB minified Like JavaScript includes, this works because CSS is not subject to the same-origin policy that affects XMLHttpRequest. CSSHttpRequest functions similarly to JSONP , and is limited to making GET requests. Unlike JSONP, untrusted third-party JavaScript cannot execute in the context of the calling page. Data is encoded on the server into URI-encoded 2KB chunks and serialized into CSS rules with a modified data: URI scheme.
