Cradle is a high-level, asynchronous CouchDB client library for Node.js with built-in write-through caching. It abstracts CouchDB's REST API behind a friendlier JavaScript API for saving, fetching, and managing documents.
Use cases
- connect to CouchDB from Node.js
- save and retrieve documents in CouchDB
- cache CouchDB documents for faster reads
- create and manage CouchDB databases programmatically
- avoid hand-writing CouchDB REST API calls
When to choose
- you use CouchDB in a Node.js application and want a friendlier API than raw HTTP
- you want built-in write-through caching for document reads and updates
When to avoid
- you use a database other than CouchDB
- you need a client with recent active development or modern async/await-first API
- you need direct low-level control over CouchDB's REST API
