Couchbase Lite, an embedded NoSQL database initially available for iOS, Android, and .NET platforms, is expanding its reach with the introduction of Couchbase Lite For C, aimed at supporting emerging Internet of Things (IoT) applications and other platforms like embedded Linux boards. This new implementation features an ANSI C API, making it accessible to various languages via bindings and suitable for modest hardware such as the Raspberry Pi. It operates independently of high-level runtimes and requires minimal operating system dependencies, while offering full source code under an Apache 2 license. Though the project is in its alpha stage and not officially supported commercially yet, the development is open-source and welcomes contributions to enhance its functionality and platform support. The architecture builds on the existing Couchbase Lite 2.x architecture, and a Python 3 binding is provided as proof of concept, with an emphasis on ease of use and cross-platform compatibility.
