Download the {{couch4j}} jar and the dependencies or add the couch4j dependency to your [Maven pom|couch4j:Maven].


The following code snippet shows the main building blocks of the couch4j library:

* CouchDbClient - represents the client connection to the CouchDB server
* Database - a single database
* Document - the document stored in CouchDB

ViewResult allDocs = database.fetchAllDocuments();

System.out.format("Number of documents: %d%n", allDocs.getTotalRows());

for (ViewResultRow row : allDocs) {
// Row
System.out.println(row.getId());

// Document
Document doc = row.getDocument();
System.out.println(doc.getId());
System.out.println(doc.toJson());

// OR

// If the value of the row is an array
JSONArray ary = row.getValueAsArray();

// If it is an object
JSONObject obj = row.getValueAsObject();
}
