Summary

Couchbase has continued to evolve its support for JavaScript, with recent initiatives focusing on improving its compatibility with popular frameworks such as Ottoman, Next.js, and Ionic. Ottoman is an Object Document Mapper (ODM) library that maps JSON documents stored in Couchbase to native JavaScript Objects, providing adaptability, supportability, sustainability, and affordability. The library features a query builder, hooks for maintaining data integrity, schemas and models for defining data structures, immutable data storage, timestamps, custom data types, constraints, and custom validators. Additionally, Couchbase has initiatives underway to extend data quality with field-level encryption, enhanced Management and Query Builder APIs, and GraphQL plugins. Ionic and Couchbase Lite enable the development of offline-enabled mobile apps, while Next.js and Couchbase offer a flexible and scalable solution for building server-side rendered web apps.
