Simple key/value database

Question

I'm looking for a very(!) simple (server-side) key/value database which preferably has a REST API. It's used to cache some values in a javascript driven web application. Looking for a quick set up and easy ajax interaction. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

You should check out couch db:

Sounds about what you are looking for.

Answer 2

Also look at MongoDb. Here is the RESTful api which returns JSON.
