Kivik
A common interface to CouchDB and CouchDB-like databases for Go and GopherJS.
What is Kivik?
Kivik is a Go library that provides a common interface for working with CouchDB and CouchDB-like databases. It solves the problem of fragmented client support across different CouchDB versions and implementations by offering a single, idiomatic API that works with CouchDB 1.6 through 3.x, PouchDB, and experimental backends.
Go developers building applications that interact with CouchDB or compatible databases, especially those needing cross-version compatibility or working with PouchDB in browser environments via GopherJS.
Developers choose Kivik for its clean, Go-idiomatic API, driver-based extensibility, and reliable support for multiple CouchDB versions and implementations without locking into a specific backend.
