wilt 4.0.5

A browser/server based CouchDB client library supporting attachments and change notification.

Wilt - both a browser and server based CouchDB client library

Wilt is based on the lightweight SAG PHP CouchDB library available here. Users of this library should recognise the structure of Wilt easily. A common processing body is specialised by the use of browser(dart:html) or server(dart:io) HTTP adapters to allow operation in the browser or the server.

Wilt implements the document/attachment/database storage and manipulation interfaces of SAG along with the utility functions such as get session information etc. It does not directly implement the manipulation of design documents, clients however can manipulate these items by constructing their own URL's and using the basic httpRequest method.

Authentication is provided using the Basic HTML method, cookie authentication is not supported.

Wilt is a fully functional standalone library, however it is envisaged that higher level client specific application layers will be wrapped around Wilt to add specific CouchDB response parsing as Wilt returns JSON Objects(or strings) to the client. It has no knowledge of correct/incorrect responses such as conflict errors for instance, i.e it has no real CouchDB intelligence other than supplying success or error responses from its HTTP interface adapter.

Note that the Wilt methods that previously returned Json Objects(JsonObjectLite) now return the dynamic type, this is a JsonObjectLite and can be used as such. This change was necessitated as part of the Dart 2.0 updates.

Current version supports both CouchDb 2.2.0 and 1.6.
