PouchDB is an open-source JavaScript database inspired by Apache CouchDB that is designed to run well within the browser.

PouchDB was created to help web developers build applications that work as well offline as they do online.

To get started using PouchDB, check out the web site and API documentation.

The PouchDB community is active on Libera IRC (web), in the Google Groups mailing list, and on StackOverflow. Or you can tweet @pouchdb!

If you think you've found a bug in PouchDB, please write a reproducible test case and file a Github issue. You can start with a template we have built on glitch.

If you like to live on the bleeding edge, you can build PouchDB from source using these steps:

git clone https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb.git
cd pouchdb
npm install

After running these steps, the browser build can be found in packages/node_modules/pouchdb/dist/pouchdb.js.

PouchDB follows semantic versioning. To see a changelog with all PouchDB releases, check out the Github releases page.
