Summary

Couchbase Lite for C, introduced with the Couchbase Lite 3.0 release, extends the client-side document-database library’s capabilities to C and C++ applications through an ANSI C API, offering a single small native library with no language runtime dependencies and broad OS compatibility. It targets data-rich IoT devices running Linux, as well as non-embedded Linux distributions like Ubuntu and Debian, and supports macOS and Windows, making it an attractive option for lightweight servers and cross-platform apps. Although Couchbase Lite for C is not intended to match the scalability of Couchbase Server, it provides a JSON-document data model with a small footprint and zero configuration. The library's cross-platform API benefits applications with C/C++ core code and, through foreign function interfaces, can potentially be accessed by various programming languages. Couchbase has provided sample Python and Rust bindings to facilitate community-driven development of additional language bindings.
