The text delves into the process of updating documents in Couchbase Lite, a document-oriented database that stores documents as JSON objects. It explains that when a document is retrieved, a copy with immutable data is provided, which can be manipulated by copying the data into a separate map object or by using the createRevision() method to obtain a mutable UnsavedRevision. The article highlights the concept of document revisions and the potential for conflicts, similar to merge conflicts in source control, when multiple updates occur simultaneously. It introduces a more complex but efficient method of updating documents using the DocumentUpdater interface, which simplifies conflict resolution by allowing Couchbase Lite to handle conflicts through repeated update attempts until changes are successfully saved. The post encourages further exploration of revisions and conflict management in Couchbase Lite through additional resources and community engagement.
