import json file to couch db-

Question

If I have a json file that looks something like this:

{\"name\":\"bob\",\"hi\":\"hello\"}
{\"name\":\"hello\",\"hi\":\"bye\"}

Is there an o

Answer 1

That JSON object will not be accepted by CouchDB. To store all the data with a single server request use:

{
  "people": 
   [
      {
        "name":"bob",
        "hi":"hello"
      },
      { 
        "name":"hello",
        "hi":"bye"
      }
   ]
}

Alternatively, submit a different CouchDB request for each row.

Import the file into CouchDB from the command-line using cURL:

curl -vX POST https://user:pass@127.0.0.1:1234/database \
  -d @- -# -o output -H "Content-Type: application/json" < file.json
