browser hosted CouchDB

Sorry if this is a newbie question, but is it correct that browser (with JavaScript enabled, of course) cannot host a couch db on its own?

In other word开发者_如何学Gos, must I have a CouchDB server installed on every device which wants to (CRUD) use the data while offline?

Thanks!

No, this is impossible right now. Still there are some projects like BrowserCouch, which try to bring CouchDB functionality to browsers.

A newer effort that is picking up momentum is IDBCouch, https://github.com/mikeal/IDBCouch
