## What it is
Nano is a minimalistic Apache CouchDB driver for Node.js, offering a thin abstraction over the CouchDB HTTP API. The repository has moved and is now maintained as apache/couchdb-nano, the official Apache CouchDB library for Node.js.

## Use cases
- connect to couchdb from node.js
- insert and query couchdb documents
- stream couchdb changes feed
- replicate couchdb databases programmatically
- manage couchdb databases from javascript
- bulk insert documents into couchdb

## When to choose
- you use CouchDB from Node.js and want a lightweight, low-abstraction driver
- you already know CouchDB's API and want errors and responses passed through directly
- you need the official, Apache-maintained CouchDB client

## When to avoid
- you need a driver for a database other than CouchDB
- you want a high-level ORM-style abstraction over your documents
- you are not using Node.js

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: database-driver, http-client
- domain: databases, backend, developer-tools
- platform: -
- tags: couchdb, nosql, minimalistic, moved-repo, nodejs, javascript
