Couchbase Lite, an embedded NoSQL database designed for iOS, Android, and .Net platforms, can be integrated into Cordova applications using Cordova plugins, which bridge web-based apps with native platform functionality through a JavaScript interface. The app architecture comprises a common HTML/JavaScript UI layer across mobile platforms and a WebView for rendering, while plugins facilitate access to native code libraries. The Couchbase Lite Cordova Plugin, written in native platform language, enables Cordova applications to utilize Couchbase Lite for data persistence by exposing a JS API. Tutorials provided for both Android and iOS guide users in building a Cordova plugin that interfaces with Couchbase Lite 2.x, exemplified by the "Hotel-Lister" app that queries and displays hotel data from a local Couchbase Lite database via an Ionic frontend. Upon completing these tutorials, developers will understand how to implement Couchbase Lite as a local data store in Cordova applications on both iOS and Android, with further resources and support available through forums and direct contact with the tutorial authors.
