DESCRIPTION:

It's lightweight library to communicate with couchdb. It has no dependances so you take care with the result JSON. With this library you can fake delete, put, update documents. It's using build in couchdb HTTP bulk docs api.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

You can use it with pure flash as3 or with flex framework in flash, flex projects.

FEATURES:

- update documents from DB
- delete documents from DB
- add documents to the DB
- POST, GET command
- replicate
- genereate uuids
- compact
- request DB changes feed

EXAMPLES ARE IN TODO

You can clone the repository.

Also You can load the preview of the swc (AS3Relax-0.1.zip) with working features or all_in_one-0.1.zip file with swc, asdocs, source code.

LIMITATIONS:

The library doesn't support true DELETE, HEAD, PUT api it uses only build in CouchDB HTTP_BULK_DOCS_API.

The HTTPResponseStatus codes doesn't work in all browsers well that sucks so you cannot get response message

But you can always check the changes using database changes feed api.
