AvanceDB is an in-memory database implementing a large subset of the CouchDB REST API. We aim to support the following CouchDB features:

• Futon and Fauxton
• JavaScript Map/Reduce
• Replication
• Apache Lucene and ElasticSearch integration
• Compatibility with common CouchDB clients like Cradle, Nano and others
• Compatibility with PouchDB

If you know CouchDB then you'll pick up AvanceDB pretty quickly. We aim to come as close to CouchDB as possible, if you were to replicate a database from CouchDB to AvanceDB you can run your document queries and views and get the exact same results.

If you spot a difference raise it as an issue and we'll get straight on it.

Once you've built AvanceDB you can ask it for help:

$ ./avancedb --help

The command line options are very simple, you can specify the network address to listen on (-a) or the port to listen on (-p) or both of these options. If you run without any command line AvanceDB will start up listen on all network devices on port 5994.
