Which CouchDB API to use for Rails?

Question

I am currently investigating possible applications of CouchDB on my current project (written in Rails) and would like to get some feedback from people who have actually used these APIs. Which would you recommend and why?

• ActiveCouch
• CouchFoo
• CouchRest
• CouchRest-Rails
• CouchPotato

Answer 1

The basic layer of CouchRest is probably the best to get started, CouchPotato is the most active for Rails integration, SimplyStored adds some nicities on top of CouchPotato
