## What it is
Couchbase Lite for Android is a lightweight, embedded, syncable NoSQL JSON document database engine for Android apps. This repository is deprecated as of Couchbase Lite v2.8 and development has moved to the Couchbase Lite Java Community Edition repository.

## Use cases
- store structured data offline in an android app
- sync mobile database with a couchbase server
- embed a nosql document store in an android application
- build offline-first mobile apps with replication
- query  documents locally on a device

## When to choose
- you need an embedded, syncable document database on android and are using the maintained community edition repo
- your app must work offline and replicate data to a couchbase server later

## When to avoid
- starting a new project, since this repository is deprecated as of v2.8
- you need a relational database or server-side storage only
- you want actively maintained code from this repo

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: database, orm
- domain: databases, mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: nosql, embedded-database, data-sync, deprecated, offline-first, android
